I found my first V Nickel yesterday. Its an 1890 and it looks to be in pretty darn good shape but its as green as the day is long!! As soon as I dug it I knew it wasn't an ordinary nickel so I just put it in my pouch and waited until I got home to mess with it. Ran it under some water and used a soft toothbrush to figure out what it was. Once I realized it was a V Nickel I stopped.
My question is what can/should I do to it?? Can/should it be cleaned up?? If so, what method would be best?
And my last question is why the heck is it green????
