corybrown50 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 4:50 pm Curious if anyone knows of 1950 "Nickel" pennies? Just found this in a pile I got from my grandfather, and after doing a search here and Google in general, I can find nothing on it. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Also those places on the rim looks like it may have been a jewelry piece or in some kind of bezel Edited by Mark1959 08/08/2018 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
