Actual double struck coins are not that common, and I have only found one ever, a 1941 nickel...   One will notice that the devices and lettering are right side up and not inversed/reversed, on a genuine double-struck coin. Also you would see design features on the other side not just on one side like yours.  |

100% glue of some sort. If acetone doesn't work try water.

Holy water, if you're trying to retire with it. |

Try using a 50/50 mix on Holy, Distilled, and Tap water to rinse it off.

One of the reasons why I like the CCF; one may come across some unexpected, but good quality humor.  |

Hello all,
Well coin gate is over. The coin reacted immediately with the acetone and the thin layer of epoxy floated off to reveal a beautiful 1974 nickel. Seeing as I am into this now for $6 plus the container, I now have a nickel worth approximately -$6.54 making this one of the least valuable nickles ever produced.
Seeing as it is now the least valuable nickel ever produced, anyone think there is a premium for that distinction? That does make it pretty rare.
And if it is worth something are we talking "retire immediately" type of value or more like "quit wasting our time posting obviously worthless nickels type of value?"
Thanks everyone for the advice, you gave me just enough pause to wait on my new boat and car and I am sure glad I did.
Good hunting everyone!
Jg

Well I'm glad we could help out, and disappointed that we won't get invited to the launching of your super mega yacht

Trust me, you will be using that acetone on all the coins you want to save. It's the only thing recommended to soak all coins in. So you can disperse that $6.54 across all your coins for dollar cost averaging. |

Best of luck and happy hunting. Save the nickel as a reminder and a good story tell. We've all I'm sure have been down your road before in one shape or form no biggie. Its been fun. And thanks for not leaving us hanging aboutnwhat it was. I'm sure you'll come across something no doubts. Look forward to your future posting. Edited by Reno911
