Hey salty, just out of curiosity, what size is a 2 center compared to a common coin? I ask because last month I dug an old copper. Its completly smooth and a bit bigger than a nickle but smaller than a quarter. A coin? The world will never know....

Nice nickel!

Great find! I have found one pre-1900 nickel. An 1897 V nickel.

A v-nickels #3 on my top 5 wish list. A merc dimes my #1. Kinda silly, I know.
