CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 5:35 pm Most of these are just plated or corroded and have no extra value. Rarely, a nickel can be struck on a cent planchet or from the wrong metal, and is a valuable error. To determine which it is, please post a picture. Also, you should weigh it with a scale that can measure tenths of grams. Report this Post to the Staff
