Thread: Oops.

    Oops.

    My wife kept telling me that the garbage disposal in our kitchen sink was making a strange noise. After investigating it myself, I found the culprit.

    Oops.




    Oh well, at least it wasn't an 1885 V Nickel! I guess I should start cleaning my finds in the basement sink instead of in the kitchen. lol

    I saw on another forum where the same thing happened to a guy, but it was with a Barber Dime. Ouch.

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Whoa! Yeah, seeing a nice V nickel get beat up like that would not have been a pleasant thing to see.
