Well throughout WWII, cipster.
Circulating along side the Buffaloes and Jeffersons, these nickels found their way into many a phone booth
as as mom or dad called the kids to say that they were working a second shift at the defense plant.
"Kids, there is a can of SPAM on the shelf. Do the best that you can. We are all in this together."
Paleoguy45, how much time do I have left? Could you suggest a specialist? Shall I update my Will?
Can I extend my life with a well-balanced diet of alcohol, nicotine and Twinkies?
Moe, at least I have not had a nightmare about you ....YET!
Gee, getting tougher and tougher to get a laugh in this topic.

@Matt. Hopefully your time left is at least fifty years. The M O E virus is like herpes - once you've caught it, it's ALWAYS lurking. Best advice is to ENJOY THE RIDE!!! (Your heirs will thank you)  PG |

If folks posted more pictures of "V" nickels here we would not be forced to fill in the gaps with humorous quips. Gee, the Carson City "days of"
was a LOT busier than we have been.

These nickels were hard workers and except for the 1883 No Cents were in use daily and for a long time.  Just go on ebay and see how many AU+ coins there are in this coin type. (I'll give you a hint... Few.)  That's what makes these wonderful coins on this thread so nice!  |

Beautiful coins everyone. I can't wait to post my one good V nickel and my two bad Vs. Although no V nickel is ever bad, some are just not as good. Mine are all above the 1900s. Anyway keep on posting your beautiful nickels. Edited by YoungNumismatist
