Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 12:03 pm Can anybody ID this nickel? Does the brown colour mark it as different? Any idea of value? Thanks so much. Report this Post to the Staff

awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 12:13 pm I've a feeling that the colouring is down to corrosion of the nickel, and the lack of date would be from wear. Edited by awallin01 03/25/2014 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 4:13 pm It was in my dad's collection. So is there any chance it's a 'brown' nickel? Report this Post to the Staff
TC3 Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 4:21 pm Sure, there's a chance. But I don't think it is. It's either heavily worn, or a metal detect. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 4:28 pm I would say it was probably found in the ground. If you look on the reverse the little nicks or scratches show to be lighter about the color of a nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
