Looks like a 1910 altered to a 1913. Johnny Hurst of Louisville used to do these.


I visited a coin shop in Louisville about 12-15 years ago. I bought a batch of exonumia there, including two of Hurst's altered 1910 nickels. The going price was $20, each. I gave one to a friend and used the other to discuss altered dates with coin club members. Fun, novelty items, these!

My eyes see an incomplete removal on the surface at the base of the three. I see what is probably adhesive in the area specific to that digit alone. Encasing it is probably the only reason it's still intact.

I find the casing extremely interesting. It's nicely made, but given the label it carries, how much of a market has there ever been for such-like?
