Photo of things found at the school yard last week.Used baking soda to clean the war nickles.Yelp, put a scratch on one of the war nickles.HH Ron
 
Ron, nice of you to show the trash also. It gives a realistic representation of the hobby. I always toss the bulk of the trash on the ground before I leave the field.
Just checking to see if you're payin attention...LOL
Actually I find a trash can and dunp the larger crap. The remainder is mostly good finds that I wash so I seldom have the trash in my photo's.
 
Ran,I usually dump the trash in a can at the park.But these junk targets can help us understand the Sovereign better. Thanks Ron
 
a war nickle was minted from 1942 to 1945 (?). Certain metals were needed during WWII so a percentage of silver was used on these nickles. If I'm wrong, please correct me. HH John
 
The War Nickle was from 1942-1945.The regular Jefferson nickle had a content of .750 copper and .250 nickle.With a shortage of nickle in WWll these nickles were made with .250 of silver instead of nickle.This nickle also has a very large mint mark over the dome on the back.This is the first time the Philadelphia mint used a mint mark,which is a P on back of the nickle over the dome.By the way these nickles are usually silver green when dug up.HH Ron
