<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 912833, member: 19456&quot;]Something I&#039;ve noticed....in the same regional area as you are, though upstate NY covers a big area....that there are a lot of really, really nasty V nickels out there. I have my share of them, too, and I think I was given all of them. Damaged, turned nasty colors, have funky textures....I don&#039;t know what their history is, but it couldn&#039;t have been much fun for the coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To me there seem to be more nasty V nickels than buffalos or Jeffersons....Shields are nearly nonexiststant around here. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are some of my nasty Vs</p><p>1888</p><p><img src="http://images54.fotki.com/v543/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1888nickela-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://images17.fotki.com/v530/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1888nickelb-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1902</p><p><img src="http://images116.fotki.com/v1596/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1902nickela-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://images56.fotki.com/v1601/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1902nickelb-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1912</p><p><img src="http://images54.fotki.com/v239/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1912nickela-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://images12.fotki.com/v539/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1912nickelb-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All three examples shown here are considered part of my permanent collection until better examples can be found. The 1912 looks much worse in person, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
