Oldest Coin So Far 1901 Liberty V Nickel

[Brruce]

Finally found a coin at one of the local playgrounds that's worth a little more than just face value. A 1901 Liberty V Nickel. First 15 minutes out with my new Teknetics Gamma 6000

Congrats on a very nice looking V Nickel.

Thanks, now just have to figure out what the value is. How do most of you go about that?

Congratulations on the nice find. I don't know very much about grading coins but here is a site which will give you a ballpark figure.

And if you head over to the "Coins" portion of this forum, I'm sure some folks will chime in as far as the grading of your coin.

Look in book minus 40%

Look on the internet minus 60%

Or keep it & not give a Sh*it

Lolol!

That is seriously one of the nicest v's I've ever seen dug. Congrats

I would hit it hard and heavy, going over all twice to make sure there has got to be SILVER_DIMES_QUARTERS --maybe a half dollar around it some where---by the edges. HH

That’s a fine looking V nickel for sure! The ones that we find in Western Mass all look like they’ve been to “coin hell” and back. Congratulations, and keep on swinging!

Congratulations on your v nickel..cool coin! Value on dug up coins is tricky. I'd say maybe around two dollars? Condition is everything with coin value. Good luck!

Wow, that's a nice looking V. Much nicer than man.

I have found over 50 V-Nickels in New Orleans and not one is as nice as that V Nickel. Every one we have down here is this reddish brown color. As far as worth goes, unless it a key date, not much, but a V Nickel that nice out the ground NOT FOR SALE.

Man that’s a pretty coin! I don’t think I’d take $50 for it (and it will never be worth half that)
