DrtyD New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/04/2017 11:27 pm Hello, I came across a nickel in my gas station change that has no defined markings on either side. The date looks like 1970's, possibly 1974. Initially I thought it was coated with an epoxy, but after a solvent bath, it became clear that there is no coating. There is also no color distortion as would be evidenced buy heating with a torch, and both main images do have depth, just no clear detail. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/06/2017 9:15 pm If the coin is a bit light in weight, then it was polished off the coin with a buffing wheel. If the weight is normal, I lean towards a dryer/rock polisher coin. PSD altered coin. spendable Report this Post to the Staff
