dpatronick New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 10:10 pm Hi forum. Hope this isn't a stupid question. I'm new to collecting and was wondering if this nickel just has environmental damage? Someone said its just dirt. I was hoping it was a missing clad layer. Sorry if this is a silly question.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 1:30 pm It's just a dirty coin which has been "circulation cameoed" by handling. Dirt won't stick where your fingers are rubbing it in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
