    Thought it was another nickel

    After work I hunted a park that I've been hunting lately. The area I was hunting was giving up a lot of nickels (15 to be exact) so when I got a 16-18 VDI# about the 13th nickel in to the hunt, I was thinking to myself another nickel and to my surprise out pops this little 14K beauty. The clad count, Q- 5, D-12, N-15, P-7.

    Thanks for looking and HH
