Admin nuggethunting Posted October 16, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello All, Here is an old 5 cent Shield Nickel I found out at one of the old mining camps in Arizona. The coin was found in a old placer tunnel, so I know an old-timer was carrying it around at one time. Makes you wonder the story behind the find? Who owned it, what did he look like, what was the reason the coin was there?Hope you enjoyed. Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Beeper Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 RobNice find. I would add this to your questions. What could that 5 cent piece buy for the miner that lost it?The video forum is coming along nicely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 23, 2012 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hey New Beeper, Thanks for your comments. I have a bunch of Youtube videos to add to the "Youtube Forum" section, just been too busy lately. I'm sure the miner wasn't happy loosing the 5 cent piece.
