Old quarter with an Indian on front and V on back

Well, that's what mom said she had for me when she called. She could read 1912, but no way she could squint enough and look for that little S or D. I had to race right over and get it. My first Liberty Nickel. Any idea of the grade?



One of her neighbors found it and gave it to her because they know her sons collect coins. And they know what a great guy I am. Okay, not really, they just wanted to see my puppy again.

I'll bet that the V-nic was a complete surprise when you saw it.

Funny story, thanks for sharing.

Too bad there's no "S" on the reverse where a mintmark should be

I agree, but that puppy sure is cute.

From the Red Book VG-8 Very Good Some letter of LIBERTY legible.

Nice find just the same... I always get a chuckle out of how non-collectors describe the coins... can be pretty funny... Cheers, RickO
