My find of the day - a 1947 Nickel. Time to find the history behind the year of this Nickel.

It was struck after the war on a normal planchet. But not seeing anything more that from the image. What are you seeing?

Finding ANY 70+ year old coin in circulation is pretty cool in this day and age!

Hi guys,
The only thing I am seeing is a appears to be a fracture line on the reverse side. The crack starts at the base of the memorial and propogates straight up to the edge of rim. Any ideas of what causes this?

P.S. : You guys are funny.

Good morning. After lots of rest (2hrs sleep), I finally got around to installing my refurbished Stereo Zoom Microscope and took a couple novice photos with my observations.
