Please rename your photos when you upload them so they are unique. This post uses err2.jpg, err3jpg, etc. These are terrible names when you use them over and over! You can rename the files on the upload screen...  |

Still got me by the tomatoes - if it is a dry Dryer Coin then that's the strangest one I've ever seen.  Edited by Marv65

To the poster...when stacked on top of another nickel, is it the same diameter? I'm wondering if this could be some type of an encasement?....  |

A diameter check would be very welcome. Thinking Dryer Coin, but waiting for a diameter assessment. |

I had a nickel with a similar but less extreme foldover a while back. Mike Diamond diagnosed that as the rim metal getting scraped into a thin apron over the edge of the letters. That looks like the same thing here. I bet you could force a toothpick under that folded metal. As for what did that to a nickel—and to the reverse only—I don't have a good guess. Something scraped the rim metal from all directions over the lettering. Could be a washing machine coin that got scraped all over the bottom repeatedly, or maybe the coin was used to level out a table leg from the floor.

Brandmeister correctly summarized the situation. The part of the edge closest to the reverse was mechanically battered, which caused a thin apron of metal to migrate over the reverse letters. Usually the effect is seen on both faces.
