SoupBone New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/18/2024 8:39 pm So I was coin hunting a box of nickels and found this Nickel, it is definitely in horrible shape. but the weight and thickness threw me off big time. Any thoughts on this? Sorry in advance if phot0s are not that clear. I had to take them with my phone then shrink the quality down they were under 300kb. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 04/18/2024 8:47 pm Photos are great. Save the nickel if you want, but I agree with the others that it has been badly corroded. For me, this one would be a spender.
