The plug seems to be silver,that's a plus. I bet it has something to do with the saying "plugged nickel" John1  |

But it was not silver that year. (note the mintmark) So it is just a damaged nickel.

for future referemce, pics that fit on the typical display, maybe 1000 pixels wide, are better since they are less blurry and easier to examine

Thanks everyone! Pretty much what I was thinking. I didn't realize what the plug in the nickel was. Interesting that it's plugged with a quarter. Why anyone would do that is beyond me.
Lastly, did anyone have a chance to look closely at the date on the nickel? I swear it looks like it's stamped over something.
Thanks for all the welcomes!

@kci, first welcome to CCF. Second, that plug came from a silver Half Dollar (not a silver Quarter). I would definitely keep that piece in a 2x2 for safekeeping not because it is valuable, but rather for the novelty.

I never had a plug nickel before - That one is a nice one.
I think the OP should have put these 2 coin into their own separate topics. That cent is not getting much attention here.

Looks like the punch out was flip over from the opposite side of the coin.
