I Found My First V Nickel today

[Jeff63]

Sorry no picture yet, all I've done is wash it. It's completely Orange from the rusted nail that was next to it. Should I remove the orange color and if so How can I do it?

I have never found an old nickel that has not been a rusty color. I wish they held up better. I use olive oil and a Q tip. It stays rusty in color but the black junk comes off and its not to abrasive

Nice find! An you can read the date that's great. Most of the V nickel I fine are all ate up. Keep a dig en

This one is to, by good shape I mean I can see all the detail , stars, date and everything else but its very pited. Its still a 100 yr plus coin coming out to see the light of day again. My Grandson Josh 9yrs old will like owning it anyway.

My nickels are usually red or black when dug...Red if in a fertilized area, and black if not....
