I found a 3 cent piece recently. It's in sad shape, but still a keeper.

Geesh, that thing must have been in a fire or something! Don't you just wish these old coins could talk sometimes?

The three-cent nickel coins don't turn up often at all, that is a great find! Unfortunately they don't fare as well in the soil as their silver counterparts.

Hey, at least you found one, which is more than most people can say. (Including me!)

i would have to completely agree with Tony , the regular trimes are uncommon to see but their nickle counterparts are very seldom found . that find alone is a great accomplishment Pale rider :clapping: :clapping:

Rang as a nickel on the VX3. Solid tone and +18/+19. About 4 inches deep. The pictures are after cleaning. It looks better in person than in the pictures.
