Sorry guys, I just bought him out and you missed out on some really good deals.
That's a lovely piece, nice pickup.
I'm not an ancient guy, so I have no stories to tell or coins to post, but...[ATTACH]
No you don't, none were produced until 1866.
Welcome to CT Sandy. There were no 1803 nickels made, so I'm not sure what you have. Can you please post a clear image of both sides of the coin?
Not to take away from a very cool find, but I'm sort of surprised how inexpensive these are compared to the other similar doubled die cents. Is...

Looks like a 1918.
Agreed. I still spend dateless buffalo nickels just so someone will find it and get excited. My grandfather always did this and hoped that he...
This is a close up of the coinfacts MS-67 and as close as I could get to the OPs coins. Not sure, but they look pretty close to my blind as a bat...
I don't see any problem with restoring the dates and could see the fun of the hunt. I'm sure that thousands of them are tossed into melting pots...
Everyone seems to have a different recipe, but for proof coins I use a product called MS-70 mixed with water 50/50. It just takes a quick dip and...
It's a lovely coin with original skin and all, it the cost of the plastic would be about as much as the coin is worth. I'd say keep it raw.
