Dollface510 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/05/2021 06:46 am I have a nickel that appears to be missing clad layer, however I read that's impossible. Is this environmental or something else? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/05/2021 07:08 am Nickels do not have clad layers,they are solid nickel 75% copper 25% nickel. Your coin looks like a once buried coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/05/2021 07:17 am Copper nickel coins under the right environmental conditions can and will tone to a beautiful golden yellow. I have seen only a few examples of this, all in higher grades, because the nice toning would have otherwise worn off. Report this Post to the Staff
