That's a very nice V, but I think I would have left the green patina alone. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I think it turned out good.

Looks good you always make coins look the best they can get

I liked the patina it had but it's personal preference and it's your coin to do what you want. Some may say you ruined it's value but I did that myself as a kid to an old Roman coin I still have as a reminder.

I liked the green patina also, but it's your coin to do as you choose. Either way...it's a great find.

I have seen several nickels on ebay that were red and they had bids, but none had green, If I were a collector I would prefer the one I have now over the green one for my collection

I think it looks fantastic either way. The only way it could look better is if it was in my collection.
Awesome "V".
Congrats again G4E,
