Numbers for v or shield nickel

[flakefinder]

For some reason I just can not find one of these does it ring up around 52 like a clad nickel , just trying to see if I am missing them or just haven't had one under my coil ? Thanks for any info , by the way I use a ATPro.

I haven't dug any either, and I am hunting for them too.

The one and only shield I found rang in at 60 on VDI

ive never dug a Shield...But the V-Nicks i have dug were all Dead on 52-53's.....I have dug a couple Buffalos in the 60s range...which was odd, but i figure maybe there was iron close or something

Also...it wasnt mentioned...But with the ATP...I have noticed even Silver nickles can read on teh same numbers as modern nickles...I would have thought it would have been much higher

I have dug war nickels ans Buffalo nickels and for me they all were 52 -53 just figured the v nickels had to ring up differently that's why I haven't found any. We'll the day will come just have to work at it a little harder!

Having found two in my entire life and both being in sorry shape I'd say it's not worth it really.

i disagree the one I found was in bad shape but I was very excited to find out it was a 1867 shield nickel. Def in my top 5 finds.

Dug a V-nickol about a month ago, showed as a 50 at 6 inches with ATPro....pretty rough condition but held pretty stable at 50.
