Spotted this right away when I was counting in my cash register the other other morning. I know it's a common date but it might be one of my favorite finds of all time!

I know the cell phone pics and my shaky hand don't produce a great pic but if anyone wants to throw a grade up I'd love to know what you think!

Great save! I spotted a V nickel in a till of a local convenience store about 10 years ago while receiving my change. The middle easterner cashier thought he'd been "chingarle" with a foreign coin, so I gladly gave him my nickel in exchange.

Wow! One has to wonder how that escaped detection by a machine counter. Probably someone spending it before hand. Desperate or on drugs. Sweet !!
