CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/04/2025 3:34 pm Shocked to find this CRH last night since this came from a very unproductive box of nickels I've been very slowly going through when I run out of better rolls to hunt. Most of the nickels are 2000 or newer with very few 70's or even 60's. The coin has some environmental damage but still has some crisp detail in the devices and MM.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/04/2025 7:18 pm Thanks for the comments everybody! Quote: Would DOCC's techniques work on this coin? This coin underwent a first phase DOCC treatment prior to these photos. https://www.prodetecting.com/blog/c...-alkali-wash This initial wash seemed to clean it up a bit. If the coin gets dramatically better over the next couple weeks I'll update here with photos. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 08/05/2025 08:17 am Excellent find CoinHI. I'm guessing that is a dirt coin that someone has already processed and thrown back into circulation. Has the appearance of a Peroxide bath. Based on images I do not think you'll get very far with Alkali washing, very little buildup left to remove (above Monticello). Looks to be surface oxidation/staining, it is virtually impossible to naturally return CuproNickel to its original silver coloration. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/05/2025 2:41 pm Thanks for the feedback DOCC! Side note: It looks like you can make out the faint outline of the secondary MM curve going through the primary MM. I attached a collage showing what I think I'm seeing.
