Well this is a silver war time nickel. It looks like a weird lamination issue or something.
When posting up images, you cannot use the same file name. each one has to be unique.
can you post up the obverse image?

Maybe bad mixture of metal alloy or some form of environmental damage?
Rest in Peace

I never saw a war time Nickel that looked like that and believe me I have seen many 35% silvers in my collecting years . I have to go with macmercury's comment on this one .

I have every one of the wartime nickels and it stands out dramatically from the blue and dark grey that time has put on them. I can see bits of copper in the dark spots. Really not sure about it.

to the CCF This nickel looks like electric damage. We used to put pennies in a screw in fuse holder with a blown fuse to complete the circuit. Maybe they were richer than me and used a nickel.
