1893 V Nickel Today in NJ

NJDiver · Jun 12, 2019

Lucked out and dug up a 1893 V nickel today over in Blairstown, NJ. Rung up around 70ish around 8"deep on my Fisher F44. Where it was really found was around 4" deep. Place is an old farm, and this was dug up in the apple orchard. Sorry if the pics aren't that good. I didn't get a chance to take any pics after cleaning, though I didn't do much at all to it to clean it. Kind of afraid to ruin it.

Thanks!

It's the first one I've found. Really made the day so worth it for me.

Awesome dig! Is that a negative photo on the bottom AND with a bug on it? Looks cool!

Nice looking coin. I have never found a V.

Congrats on your first "V". That is a nice coin. It took 10 years before I dug my first and I am still looking for my second. Trapper

You're right! I never even saw it in the pic until you commented. :lol:

Yep, I changed the pic to negative. Was hoping it made some of the details come out a little. The pics are before I went over it with a toothpick. It helped a bit doing that, pretty sure that's as far as I'm going with it. Don't want to do any damage.
