Message:: [QUOTE="softballfind, post: 379477, member: 14899"]WOW!!! I hope it is one. I do have to try to get a picture up. We haven't been able to get the lighting right to see it. As to amateurs, she simply saw it on the ground during a softball game and thought it looked different. The p stood out to her and also the date. 1943 seems ancient to a 13 year old.:smile After the weekend of tournaments she remembered it was in her cleats and did a search for it. She was fascinated to find it was a war nickel and then the post here of the picture of the double eye came up and she said mom look I think this is my nickel. We got out a magnifying glass and it sure looks like it. Although we did not notice the doubling at liberty. It stood out more at the eye and also at the neck and shirt area. Ok without sounding like a total looney I was at a party last year where a psychic was the entertainment and she told me my daughter would find a very interesting coin in the dirt and that it will be from her great grandfather so she has always took an extra look at any coins found in the dirt. lol ok ok now you all think I am crazy. Oh and my dad was born in 1943. lol I have a question. We read that you should not clean it. Is there anything you can soak it in that is ok or can you at least bathe it in real hot water?  It's dirty where the doubling seems to be.[/QUOTE]
