...a 1912 Liberty Head Nickel! The nickels came from the same bank branch that has been producing silver dimes. The silver dime production has dropped off a bit. Two weeks ago, I found one silver dime (1947) in $200 searched. Yesterday I found two silver dimes (1951, 1960D) in $200 searched.

Here are the obligatory photographs of the nickel:

Great coin! I bit the bullet and actually bought one last week at my local shop for $1. Hopefully I'll find one in the wild some day.
 
Looks like a 1912-D with something below the left lower dot?

I found a 1904 V Back nickel back in december :thumbsup:

No, there's no mint mark. What you see is a small ding. Believe me--the first thing I did was check for a D or better yet an S.
