Better? Also I am aware that there is 25% copper in the nickel alloy, but this looks and feels and stains like copper. I know it's not struck on a 1982 copper penny planchet due to it's nickel size, but it does appear to be copper and not the nickel alloy. That's why I thought I'd ask. Cheers, RGR   |

Having a set of reliable scales in no way insinuates you are a "dope dealer" per your quote. Please listen to those that have commented above regarding your coin. The discoloration of your Nickel is nothing more than environmental damage and is of no significant value other than 5 Cents. Welcome to the forum. |

agree with others above, not copper just regular nickel, I bought my digital scale at Target in kitchen department isle, not very much money, don't have to be a dealer to have a scale, anybody just starting coin collecting or cooking should buy a scale right away

 to CCF. Looks like environmental damage to me. A once buried coin or a fountain coin. Value is 5¢ John1  |

The percentage of copper is actually 75%. I metal detect, and that is exactly what nickels look like when they come out of the ground. I don't know what is actually happening, if the copper kind of leaches to the surface or what, but that is always the result.

Environmentally tarnished/toned/stained post mint damaged coin. May have been buried in soil for some time, or some "less than ideal" conditions. No premium, sorry.  |

Definitely environmental damage. This one was on it's way to becoming a "Black Beauty" It is possible this one was buried with additional coins and possibly gave way to the tarnished surface. Lots of Patina there.

I will come back with a weight at some point point but I gotta believe that the majority are right. I was just impressed by finding it without looking for it #128515;
