Well not mine but Cristina's...apparently someone gave her a 1912 Nickle...

Here is a similar pic with almost identical condition...

Stefen....If you haven;t already, check it for a "S" mint mark...on the back at about 7'oclock under the dot in between the United and cents is where it would be....the 1912-S is a key date with only 238,000 minted and in G-4 condition is worth $140.00 or so.

Stefen,
Gotta love them V nickles. That's a great find.

I wonder how that thing ended up in circulation. She was lucky. Heck, most people out there probably wouldn't have taken it thinking it wasn't real or something. Great find, nonetheless.

Beautiful find.

She felt guilty and gave it to me as a gift in exchange for the antique diamond ring I gave her a few days before.

I got the better of the deal...I get to keep the nickle and the ring with her attached, of course.
