Yours looks somewhat like a cast copy, although it could just have been dropped in acid. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I agree with @hon that it looks like this nickel has been exposed to a corrosive environment, such as acid.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 8:23 pm I'm not seeing much of a rim on this coin. Not really seeing too much as the pictures are very dark. Collecting since 1972.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 8:51 pm to the CCF Pictures are a little dark to see details but the lack of rims and thin letters indicate it has been exposed to acid. It is considered PMD Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1656 Posts	Posted 10/21/2022 04:22 am I agree with acid going on the pictures. The lettering and devices look eroded rather than weak from a thin planchet. Better pictures are really needed though. Report this Post to the Staff
