MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:10 pm I picked up a few broadstruck nickels today. They all appeared uncirculated. This coin caught my eye. At first I thought some foreign substance after minting while it was in the wild got on the coin. I looked with some magnification and now I wonder if this is a combo of die grease and metal from minting process that is now part of the coin. I have gently scratched at the metal on the edge with my fingernail and nothing happened. Should I soak in acetone and see what happens? Any way this happened during minting? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:20 pm Thanks JimmyD! I will try that . I wasn't sure with it being a broadstrike if the lack of collar pressure could have allowed a "glob" of grease and metal to enter that area. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:21 pm How attached is it? Fingernail loosen it. It might respond to a soak. But I tend not to adjust surfaces that are still mint. I only use mineral oil to remove grime on devices on circulation examples only. You might try a vertical soaking on just the blackened area? That way not the full coin may not be affected. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:24 pm Coop - fingernail did not loosen the edge material nor did I see any scratches in the area. Great idea on the vertical soak. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:27 pm May I ask, what is the value of something like this? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:31 pm How to do that safely? Try putting a wooden clothespin or two on the edge of the coin. This will help keep it vertical. The second one might be used to prevent it from falling over. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 9:51 pm Coinfrog - I am interested in the value as well. Not sure if there is anything more than a broadstrike here or not. Report this Post to the Staff
Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 02/24/2022 3:21 pm Value depends on grade. I recently got a 1999 p broadstruck nickel graded at 67. Another at 65. The only time you'll get a really good value is if it's full steps. Actually a good bit of broadstruck nickels in that year on market. Also a 1999 nickel is still considered fairly new, considering. A 1999 p nickel with full steps is 250 with grade at 67, without any errors. I hope you were able to clean it. Lol I only found this topic because I was trying to find how many high grade broadstruck coins were found in that year. Other than the 67 I just got graded, 66 is the highest I could find. So far.
