That one would have made my heart jump. The way that nickel was worn it does leave one thinking the date is 1913. @i.cutler is 100% correct. No...
I wish “a few bucks” was all I was out after all my years of collecting!
Makes me want to clean behind my furniture. Cool find!
@Jhayes222 I hope you will pop in from time to time to update us on how things are progressing with your beautiful Eagle.

Those are beautiful. I never realized. It appears the reverse of much of our 19th century coinage was patterned directly off the Great Britain...
