Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 2:33 pm Not a silver nickel - it was either heavily polished or plated. Collecting since 1972.

sejalpatel99 New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 7:14 pm It looks so well detailed. And corners are still sharp when you feel around them. Report this Post to the Staff
paradise4u New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 7:31 pm Details are missing in hair of Jefferson and steps of building. Those surfaces get worn down with wear and circulation Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 1:58 pm Note the tops of the devices are worn down a bit, so I feel it was polished to make it shiny. When that happens, the coins surface was altered making it not a collectable. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 5:28 pm a lack of detail on Monticello's steps of 1960s nickels is not a reliable indicator of wear since most business strikes of that decade lacked visible full steps when freshly minted, and some had none at all Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 6:00 pm You first Observe pic attract me. I took the picture to see the grains of the surface of the coin. This was a relative well circulated coin which was re-plated. Best circulated sign in the hairs. I look and I see the gains which only the plating give. Also the side of the coin show the plating, Same the Reverse. Here your pic adjusted: Report this Post to the Staff
