Wartime nickel

[Zeke]

Went to my wifes grandparents yard today with the 250 and found several coins....... clad quarter, dime, and nickel, 6 pennies from the 70s, 4 pennies from the 60s, 83 & 93 pennies........AND a 1943 wartime nickel. I know theres more there......just got too cold to look any longer.

NICE NICKEL P, D, or S ?

 

[Zeke]

Looks like its a P

Yep. it's a shamed for condition. there is a Doubled Eye Variety in the 43-P . it's a little weak to see there. STILL, I always like finding the silver War Varieties TOO. Glad you're getting out. I got probably 3 months yet before I BRAVE IT? HH ; Jeff Morgan

Is it not cool how good that silver looks compared to all of the other
coins you pulled up to day. Man I love to dig silver.

Nice nickel Z. Hey how do you get such great close-ups? Careful, someone could reconstruct your fingerprints with those two pics! ~CO2

 

[Zeke]

Thanks guys. Its my oldest yet besides the wheats I have found. I do wish it was in a little better shape.

CO2.....Im just using a Canon PowerShot A300 in the Macro mode and zooming it to about 2X with the digital zoom. It doesnt have an optical zoom.

And it would take a genious to copy my beat up prints. Welding for a living takes its toll on them. My hands are beat up bad.

DID YOU CLEAN IT ?
OR DID IT COME LOOKING LIKE A WIRE BRUSH WENT OVER IT ?
JUST WONDERING.

TORRERO I had the same question in mind. But it look more like "out-of-the ground"
