Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75548 Posts	Posted 04/07/2025 11:52 pm This nickel is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, not clad. I'm thinking your nickel is just showing environmental damage. Weight is normal too. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25901 Posts	Posted 04/08/2025 01:06 am I agree with Errers and Marve - just environmental damage. Looks like it was buried for a while. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
