Hello MDF,

Found this 1895 V Nickel when I went out detecting this weekend.

I have cleaned it up as much as possible, with warm water and soap, soft bristle brush, and then a vinegar and salt bath for 90 minutes.

What I would like to know now is, is there a way to darken it up so you can see more of the detail and what would you use to do this?

Thanks for any information, as always it is much appreciated.

Take care,
Ben

Date Question

Also, when I first looked at it, it looks like it might have been an 1895, but then I took a look at it with my USB microscope and it looks like it could be 1885.

Here is as close as I could get with the microscope, any opinions?
