Found this 1887 V nickel Not in great shape but are any dug nickels. Worn. Had to use a little SOS pad to make it readable. I know it ruins the value but it really has no value in the crusty shape it is in. Pretty rare date. I found a coupe wheats but no silver. Found a 1959 Rosie the day before. My total silver is 6 for 2016. Found the nickel with the F75LTD2 Attached 2 pics to compare.

It looks like 1837 in the top picture.
Yes but there is no such animal. It only could be a 8 based on the coin type.
