Strange! I am thinking how could the nickel get this texture. My guess is that it is a cast counterfeit.

It's either corroded/cleaned or acid treated, in my eyes

Always were proper eye protection when working with acidic solutions. But I do agree on the acid treated, probably after the corrosion got so bad. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Obverse is extremely porous . The listing won't let me enlarge the reverse but from what I can tell , looks ok . That coin is not AU-UNC .  |

A vinegar soak. Probably a gram light.

$429.00, LOL. Maybe he put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Ouch. This looks more like nuke-a-date than Nic-a-date.

Vinegar and salt soak will look just like that. It brings out the detail but the date will be very fragile.

Boy, I hope no one buys this. Can you imagine how hard it would be to sell later on if selling to a dealer, or knowable collector.
