jvcv_0 Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 06:07 am Found in circulation, I have never seen quite this pattern or color of (copper-sourced?) green corrosion on a nickel. It is uniform on both sides and edges. Edges are slightly darker possibly from handing? Possible Cud on dome of Monticello on reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 07:27 am no mint errors such as Cuds on this nickel. It is a cool color so save if you want but it is only worth face value.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 07:37 am Severe post-strike damage. Coin may have spent considerable time buried in moist soil, or at the bottom of a poorly maintained fountain. Not seeing a cud--cuds (by numismatic definition) are die issues associated with a coin's rim. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 1:03 pm Cuds are only on rims, so no Cud. Thee rest of the coin has some bad environmental post mint damage. Most likely rescued from having been buried in acidic soil. Metal detector find. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 2:08 pm just a very damaged nickel note here. I would say, just put it back to work buying things. Collecting since 1972.
