snagged one before the rain.....

Got this buffalo today and 3 wheats before the wind and rain put a stop to that. Got the Rosie and 3 wheats in Idaho on the way over to see Mom last weekend. Been kinda slow for me lately but as long as they come I'm happy. Days are numbered here........

Nice!

How'd you get that Buffy to clean up like that? All of mine look brown.

vinegar & salt, a little rubbing with steel wool, and maybe some rubbing with Bob-ami or Bartenders friend. The vinegar/salt thing will bring out the pitting...especially on the older V's. Be careful...but the things really aren't worth anything and I like em to look like nickels so the vinegar works for me.........


Might as well say it here..... Just scored a vacant lot right on Main St., downtown Podunk!!!! Owners "think" it's always been vacant? This lot is like right downtown....in between the other old buildings. Can't hardly believe there's never been anything there before? Anyways...we'll see, excited and maybe it'll turn up an oldie or two with any luck...????

That's great finds before rain!

I use SOS Pad to clean old nickels! Work good for me!
