Glad to be here to learn....
The weight of the coin is the same as other nickels.... used a kitchen digital scale not sure if correct but read 0.165 oz.

The texture seams to be excessive so I think it is acid or chemical of some kind and not Grease Filled Die. Now that is only a guess but seams logical. |

Acid would reduce the weight. BrinksCoins, if you plan on staying in the coin hobby you need to get a more accurate scale. One that goes down to 0.001 grams. John1  |

Weight will tell if it is a thinned planchet issue or not. 5 grams is normal for the nickel that year.
Thinned will be less than that.

I concur that this nickel was struck through "grease" on both faces.
Error coin writer and researcher.

to the CCF. As already stated, likely struck through 'grease' which is a generic description for several materials that can be inadvertently introduced in the coining chamber and will prevent the coins details from being fully struck up - it does not necessarily mean actual grease like you would use to lubricate say a bearing. Mike Diamond has weighed in so that all I need to concur. It's a nice find with some numismatic premium due to the extent of the grease obscured details. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |
