It's been subjected to acid or been in some highly corrosive environment.

Definitely exposure to a corrosive environment rather than an error. I'd be interested in knowing the weight as it has lost a large percentage of its mass. Thx for posting!

I have a Dime just like that, taken it to several experts who say the same thing, it has been dipped in acid. I still have it and probably always will only because I do not want someone to think it is an error and spend money to see if it is authentic.

That's an extreme example of acid corrosion. I'd keep 'er.

I agree. It's a victim of acid damage. PMD. Errers and Varietys.

I assume it's also considerably smaller than a normal nickel. Acid attacks all sides evenly - including the edge, making the coin smaller in diameter. Quote:
Crazy that was in circulation! I concur. Technically, since that coin has lost so much mass, it's way below the legal minimum weight of a nickel and so it's no longer legal tender.

I'd say you're still owed 4 cents...go back to the shop and demand 4 more cents

Greasy, I think that Sherrow01 has gotten more than 4 cents of enjoyment from this pickel (penny nickel).
