It looks like the planchet was made of the same material used for pennies or something. Can anyone give me some info on what this might be? Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

I can't really tell what's going on with the Nickel. Here's the Free Image Optimizer tool, so you can crop out your pictures. https://www.coincommunity.com/image-optimizer/ Errers and Varietys.

It eventually wear off the coin when they are put back into circulation. Some keep them to watch the coins changed. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 02:26 am I can't tell anything from the pics. They are not close enough and the colors are skewed by the background, so I don't know what the nickel actually looks like.
