nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 02/01/2010 10:54 am I dated the nickel. Good news is that the last digit turned out to be a 5! Bad news, the 3rd digit was a 9 :( Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/01/2010 4:44 pm I had actually suspected it was an 189- coin. It vaguely looks more like a 9 in some of the photos. Report this Post to the Staff
GFR3 Valued Member United States 473 Posts	Posted 02/01/2010 10:13 pm ^^ agreed. The curve on the worn "9" looks different than the curve on the "8". Didn't notice it at first though Report this Post to the Staff
