My brother, 12 years older than me, used A LOT of Brylcream in the early 60's. He was a heavy Greaser

This coin is just heavily circulated. With a little more time as a pocket piece it will make a great lowball coin.

Keep searching

Either somebody really don't like TJ, or it's a practice coin for a contemporary altered "hobo" nickel?
