steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 2:43 pm I have no idea what happened to my nickel. I took a look at it and thought, it looks a bit "weak" When I gave it a bit of pressure, this is what happened.... No longer even a "spender"....LOL Report this Post to the Staff

purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 3:01 pm was it put in some kind of acid bath? Hard to tell from the pictures, but the surface looks like it was eaten away by something. Report this Post to the Staff
steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 3:09 pm Hard to focus on "bits and pieces". There appears to be some green in it, too. Never seen anything like it, weird! Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 08/15/2015 5:23 pm Sure gives a new take on " Pieces of eight" . It is a sewer coin by the looks of it. City crew used to bring all kinds of this muck to us when we had a shop. Report this Post to the Staff
