Wonder if anyone knows the exact alloy? Modern U.S. "nickels" are 75% copper/25% nickel. These might be the same or slightly different. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 09/11/2020 11:30 am Just yesterday, I received the subject coin, slabbed by NGC. The delay wasn't all NGC's fault. My dealer friend who submitted it was hospitalized and placed in rehab. He's on the mend now. Here are pics of the slabbed coin, graded XF-40 .... Thanks all, for your interest & encouragement!
