Rft New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/31/2017 9:40 pm I have a 2012 D nickel that was not plated with nickel on the face side. The back is normal but the front side is a copper/ zinc color. Was this a common occurrence? I'm very new to searching and collecting coins. Thanks for any advice. rft Report this Post to the Staff

Without pictures, there will be a lot of speculation. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 12/31/2017 9:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It could have been laying somewhere corrosive with only one side exposed. Either way it is post mint damage, not a collectable. Edited by cwb 12/31/2017 9:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

freeqgirl Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 12/31/2017 10:43 pm My advice on pictures is to take a pic from farther away and zoom in. Clear pictures are better then muddy close-ups. :) Also, I bought a cheap little $10 set of lenses that clip on to my iPhone (or any phone) and it takes awesome close-ups with the macro lens. :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 4:58 pm @rft, first welcome to CCF. Second, those pics are very helpful. I agree with the others that something has discolored the obverse of this nickel after it left the mint. It could have been left sitting in a liquid that stained the surface or painted on purpose--in the end it doesn't much matter. This nickel is worth face value only. It looks kinda neat so save it if you want, but it isn't worth more than the five cents.
