wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 01/02/2016 3:55 pm Oh my gosh T1Steel your nickel dollar looks like a close cousin of the family that I deposited in the bank a few months ago. Sadly, yes a fatal case of nickel cancer resulting from spending most of their life inside a plastic bag inside a little cloth sack. The PCV of the plastic bag eventually turned to green gunk which literally ate into the metal. They were much too far gone to treat with acetone alas the crematorium (ARP). Moral of the story - never stash away coins in a plastic bag, in such a good hiding place that you forget where you put them:-( Report this Post to the Staff
