For me, itās a Liberty Nickel minted in 1908. I found it in 2013 on a bus ride home from work. Picked it up and kept it since.
Itās only worth about eight bucks, but it boggles my brain to think about holding something that someone else held in 1908. At that time my nickel could have purchased a loaf of bread, a ticket to ride an urban trolley, a glass of draft beer or a seat in a movie theater.
@MotherDucker worth about $8.00 depending on condition had it been a1913 then you would have about 4 million dollars .Think they only made like 4 of them for buddyās of the mint director?
