SilverSearch0835 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 09/11/2018 10:12 pm Hello. I'm pretty new to coin collecting. I'm not sure if this nickel is silver..although it seems to look like most of my 1964 > I also found 2 others that have similar copper complexion coming through. Can anyone else help with this?

Quote: Weight:5 grams Content:75% Copper 25% Nickel Diameter:21.2 millimeters Edge:Plain Designer:Felix Schlag Nickels are alloys, meaning they are mixed throughout. Unlike clad coinage of dime, quarter and half which are CuNi with a copper core. Nickels are solid. If you see a "rose" tint, it is probably environmental exposure to something, soil, cola, etc. It's a stain really. Edited by Crazyb0 09/11/2018 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
