<p>[QUOTE="drummerboy, post: 15846, member: 1304"]A few years back I was up in North Dakota visiting a friend. While there we went out and did some shotting. He's an advid collector of rifles. After shotting for awhile we drove around. He stopped and hadn't noticed before but there was an old farm house that was tucked away in a grove of trees. As we looked around the old place there were all kinds of neat and interesting stuff. While looking inside the house I was wondering around looking inside the kitchen. I open a few of the old cupboards and for some reason I reached up on the top shelf and ran my hand towards the back of the shelf. I felt something small tucked away in the back. When I pulled it out and dusted it off I couldnt' beleive my eyes. It was a 1899 V-Nickel that was toned a dark chocolate color but was totally uncirculated. I about wet my pants...lol. I started jumping up and down. My friend just couldn't understand why I got so excited. Wow, what a find. My digital camera is in the shop. Hopefully I will have it back by the middle of this week and I'll try and get a shot of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
