NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17980 Posts	Posted 11/16/2020 5:29 pm If a nickel gets buried in the ground, it eventually turns dark brown. To me this has the appearance of a metal detector find that has been put back into circulation.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/16/2020 7:41 pm Nickels are 75% copper, 25% nickel. I feel this is a metal detector find. Slowing in circulation the high points will turn gray, just like it is doing now. If it were struck on a cent, then would have been struck on a Zincoln, not a copper planchet. On a struck through a cent, the devices would hang over the edge of the coin: Your coins weight and diameter looks normal. Just an outdoor find. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/16/2020 8:31 pm Environmental toning/tarnishing, most likely from being buried in soil at some point in it's life. Appearance improvement unlikely and/or not worth the effort. Value: 5 cents. to the CCF! Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
