Snoopydoo Valued Member United States 443 Posts	Posted 06/03/2020 4:55 pm I'm sorting thru my Foreign Coins and came across this 5 cent piece with a definitely different surface. I unfortunately don't have another 1952 to compare it to, so I put it next to my next oldest Nickel from 1968 for comparison. Two photos from above, and two from angle to get better light on surface. Any help or input will be appreciated. The 1952 one almost looks like aluminum. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

"Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
