Just thought to relax with a nice box of nickels to look through this weekend. Five rolls in and a whopping total of 4% pre64's...Whoopee  A majority look like these beauties. I can't even begin to imagine what caused this, parking meters? At first glance thought grease filled...but nope, just whupped.    Gave up in utter dismay, disgust and, ...hunger! |

Better luck next time.
Any nickel slots still in use? Poor coins.

They look like they missed the meter and were just skipped across the parking lot to the attendant.  |

Hard to see. The 76, is that some type of crack going through the dome on the Rev? Maybe they made a lot of long distance calls, on a pay phone!  Edited by USSID18

There is this really odd thing some people do with coins, called "spending" them...
But yeah, pretty nasty trashed nickels.

I think nickel slots are long gone.

The Nickel from 1989 looks like the beginning of a Dryer Coin. The rest looks like they got trashed from being in circulation too long. Errers and Varietys.

Nickels actually circulate. Good little coins.

I often wonder about the story some of these coins could tell about its PMD. Thanks for the post. |

Nickels are the only coins we have left that actually "feel" like coins.
