Default My First Liberty Head V Nickle
I went hunting in an old philadelphia park today and found my first V Nickle dated 1903. I also found two wheats 1911, 1929. Lots of clad $2.32 to be exact!

Nice! It's not everyday you see a nickel that's over 100 years old. Sounds like a park with some history to it.
