uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 6:43 pm I had the coin for over 2 decades on a 2x2 and going back through them now , I don't recall putting it on the 2x2 these way , and I didn't know that War Nickel would get that type of corrosion ( I know they're only 35% silver ) . I got a better color on the silver coins now the're no so reddish. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96989 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 6:54 pm Well, never seen that on a silver nickel.. (and can't call it zinc bubbles ) Collecting since 1972.

uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 7:47 pm I popped the bubble in the top part of the E and one dot marked with the arrows , so they're bubbles , and the big blunt on the bottom of the P it's under the silver coating ( I know it's not silver coating) but it's not from a welding machine , the burned part could be from a solder point getting it hot , but as you can see the bubbles are all over the coin not jus in that spot . it weight 4.8 gr.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8775 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 8:05 pm I would have thought possibly a rusted die, until you depressed one, so not sure. With the impurities we've seen on the WWII nickels though, I suppose anything is possible. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/24/2024 5:29 pm Just a thought. The black spot on the rim on both sides looks like spot welder prongs. The copper on the P looks like it came from one of the prongs. Just spitballen. Report this Post to the Staff
