Realcent.org

I was looking around here and at the old site, to see if anyone had discovered any 1909 coins other than cents (because I am a tracking nerd, and I maintain the 1909 CLUB thread here: http://realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=400).
I figured the expert would be Country, since he keeps amazing stats on the monthly halves threads. He thought there had been a 1909 V-nickel found. After quite a bit of digging, I didn't find any from that particular year, but I did come up with a list of V-nickel finds...

I didn't want all that research to go to waste, so the list of V nickels is below. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT SEARCHED OUT ALL THE REPORTED SHIELD NICKELS, if there even were any. Seems these two series of coins are sparse enough to track without a herculean effort, so if anyone has a find to tell of, come on board! Just posting the date of the coin would be fine, but if you can provide pictures or further information, we'd love to see/hear!

And please, if you DID NOT find the coin(s) attributed to you, PLEASE let me know - my eyes are getting tired tonight, and I may have slipped a little misinformation in there by the end.

txbullion - I sure would like to see a photo of the 1885. WOW, what a find...

Check that V-key out here:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=740&p=5240&hilit=1885#p5240

I posted it on the old forum but here it is again. For the record, I dont sort nickels, I just got this one in the wild for free from the top of a cash register

Do you still have it, or have you had it appraised or graded or sold or anything?

I still have my five finds for the year, so here are the dates:
1904, 1911, 1910, 1911, 1909.
Sorry, but I do not know which ones were found on which dates.

I was thinking about grading but per MH input, I wont bother since its not the best shape. My initial reaction was to sell it since i dont collect them and would rather convert it to some silver but my fiance convinced me to keep it. She said it would be a nice story to tell and plus I figured i wasnt out anything by keeping it

AHA! The elusive 1909 find! Not worth more, just one of my quirks!
I also found that FB101 found a 1909-O half on February 17th...
These will both be posted on the 1909 CLUB thread.

looked at my records and yes i had the more you could not find the post of.

Yep, that elusive 1909 filled a hole in my collection for a nice cool 5c.

Got my first from a box today!

1903, pretty worn on back, but front is if AG3 to G4 condition.

I just found an 1883 No Cents in AU condition.

My best specimen now too!

I found two war nicks and a no date buf in the same box.

0CD

1902 in my first nickel box ever!

Sounds awesome. Can you post a picture?

Here is the 1883 "No Cents" Pictured with another first edition coin found two days earlier in a different box.
It took me a while to get some images.

OK, the puter has a new hard drive and otherwise upgraded in several places so I'm back on board.

I never thought it possible but now I've got belief. I just found a 1905 V nickel in a string box. Personally, I find it amazing a 106 year old coin could still be in circulation. Simply amazing when I hold it in my hand and imagine Teddy was doing his first stint as president when this was minted.
