They Call Me Lovdattcoin, Check What I Found. (1990 P Nickel)

to the CCF.

you'll find more help and information here than you will on you tube.

Other than the yellow color, that is almost certainly unrelated. Whether intentionally applied or not, the coin you posted from ebay appears "toned"—a consequence of the metal in a coin reacting with other chemicals in its immediate environment over time, which can be desirable to some collectors. That is not the same thing as plating or contamination from a yellowish goo, which almost always decreases value in the eyes of nearly all collectors .

The ebay coin is also of a very different composition, which might allow it to turn those colors. And that coin didn't see much in the way of circulation, either. On the other hand, bright colors on a heavily circulated coin is usually a red flag that someone has intentionally altered a coin's surface.

Collectors will assess the two coins completely differently for multiple reasons.

Just curious. Is the ebay seller trying to claim that they have a nickel with gold content?

First clue it is not a gold coin. It wore off the surface of the coin. It is not real gold, it is paint or something else. Not something you can cash in. The only time you can have a gold coin, is if the gold blank was struck with a wrong set of dies:


Then you would have something worth more than the gold it was struck on. But on your coin, it is not a gold coin.

I knew mine wasn't rainbowed that's why I had to find out cause mine looks different and sure was shiney where the color is.

I know the coins worthless and not worth researching. I won't be disappointed about not wasting the time.

Please, one coin per thread.

No "Black Beauty" sorry. Environmentally stained/toned/dirty (?) nickel. Simply, post mint damage ( PMD).
