2003-P Canadian Nickel With Copper On One Side And Nickel

Will do on Monday when I have access to a scanner.

It is definitely two pieces of different metal pressed together, I am very familiar with metals. You can see the seams between the two metals on the rim. I will post a pic Monday when I get access to a scanner.

I believe I have described it badly. It appears that there was both a penny and a nickel planchet in the press at the same time. They have been pressed together to create the penny planchet on the Queen side and the nickel planchet on the beaver side. I most likely cannot scan the seam where the join. There was a lot of pressure to create the coin so it is not consistent and some of the materials have bled through on both sides.

Once I figure out how to upload pics:

As promised, I am attaching pics of my weird nickel. Any additional feedback is appreciated. I played with the contrast and colour levels a bit to show contrast better. I am not sure the edge pic will be very good, had to use my iphone.

Here are the images. I read the tutorial, hope it works ok?

Does that make it worth anything or just another nickel?

Judging by what I see, it appears to be two planchets squished together. I cannot get a good pic of the edge yet. I will keep trying.

Thanks,

Thanks Daryl. Are either yours or mine worth anything special? I collect hi-grade coins, not error coins.

Thanks,

I would say it is a rough enough coin with scrapes and scratches as others have tried to see what was up with the coin prior to it falling in my hands.
