Ru1984 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 05:05 am Hey all, my brother found this one a couple of years ago in his spare change jar. Do you think it has any value? Thanks * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 05:14 am It is a "war" nickel so it has silver value. The scratches on the reverse keep it from having much collector value IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 11:11 am Look to the left at the red folder title " US coins & Currency". Then to US COIN FACTS, then to Jefferson nickels, and you will have some good basic information about this War Nickel, too. Report this Post to the Staff

Ru1984 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 8:40 pm Thanks guys I'll hold on to it since it technically isn't mine and who knows when I or my brother might see another one! Moxking, thanks for the link very interesting and useful info! Earle42, I looked for that overdate but no luck. There appears to be black crud or tarnish around that area but I heard cleaning it isn't a good idea? Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 8:52 pm Correct. Cleaning is bad. Conserving a coin is good. Knowing the difference is important. Most folks here will give a coin destined for a 2x2 flip a soak in 100% acetone to loosen crud, remove any finger oils deposited while CRH. Some use a very soft bristled toothbrush to facilitate removal of the gunk (quite common on wartime nickels). It is worth saving. I'd even recommend getting a nickel folder or two to start filing out the dates you find or come across at your LCS. Fun to fill in a date and learn something about it in the process. Good luck!!
