nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15564 Posts	Posted 07/01/2026 2:09 pm Whatever it is it's a damaged nickel. We can speculate all day on how it got to this state, but unless you were there when it was put together we'll never know for sure.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25724 Posts	Posted 07/01/2026 3:29 pm It's a squirting nickel. I got the remains of one in change a few years ago. Notice the hole in the O of OF. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Empty_Pockets Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 07/02/2026 02:35 am Squirting nickel..that's interesting for sure. But my question would be "Why would anyone want one?" Report this Post to the Staff
