Dearborn Moderator United States 96347 Posts	Posted 09/25/2022 9:10 pm I think my eyes went crossed when I read the title. As stated, nickels are not clad coins.... Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 09/25/2022 9:40 pm Very nice pics @vip. Looks to me like environmental toning too, such as from having been being buried.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 12:08 pm Note the rim is showing where the coating is missing off the coin. It will eventually turn back to the normal color, but will be dull in luster. It will take sometime for this to happen to this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
