Slick barber, A Merc, A war nickle and a Buff

dirtlooter · Feb 10, 2019

The Barber is not a barber but a V nickle, it is pretty worn slick but still has a date of 1899. Dateless Buff, Merc and a War nickle. total screw up on my part, just had a shot in my eye the day before and had vision problems plus was on muscle relaxers for lower back. feel like an idiot now

Those two nickels look like they were dropped yesterday.

I feel like an idiot. Actually I don't do the pictures or attach them to the posts, my wife does that part. I struggle with how to do it, mainly remembering what you have to do so she does them all for me. I had the coins separate and she did her thing. I totally failed to do mine. At the time I really didn't care, just wanted it done. my eye felt like it had broken glass in it from the shot that I had the day before and so I wasn't really looking at much. and no, it is a lot bigger than a dime. guess you had to have been there. Today I can see better but still feel like an idiot. I feel like the guy that shoots a basket at the wrong end and makes it for the other team. Duh

I hope you get to feeling better DL. Please don’t worry about it that nickel.

Good luck buddy.

Charles Barber designed the Liberty head/'V' nickel. Wouldn't that technically make it a Barber?

Nice Hunt
How did you clean up that nickel? I found one a couple nights ago and it has a thin layer of
rust covering 80% of the coin. I have been soaking in olive oil for 2 days.

Thanks
