1909VDB/1945-P Jefferson Nickel In Pocket Change

Nice!
So how long were you staring below the date in hopes of seeing an S?

1909 in pocket change? thats ridiculously lucky. sounds like someone cashed in their grandpas old change jars recently to me. thats the oldest pocket change find I've seen.

Not unusual at all lately. Due to the economy being poor, the amount of home robberies, coin store robberies, people robbed on the way to and from a coin show has increased massively. House robberies are so common they are seldom if ever published anywhere. For example we have had several house robberies in my block in the last few months and not one word in any newspaper, radio, TV. One house robbery was about 4 PM on a Saturday.
To a criminal coins are just money and are spent as money. They are money you know. Many criminals even crack open proof and uncirculated sets from the Mint they find in homes since those too contain money to be spent.

The camera flash did highlight it, but to be truthful, the "VDB" is pretty worn down and can only be plainly seen when viewed from an angle.
