aneta Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 11:50 pm Found this nickle at work today, I can't even see the date or read anything on it. It's evenly distorted, even on the edge, it feels real smooth, but out of focus. Can anyone tell me what caused this? Report this Post to the Staff
