The first few pictures are a proof dime then you switch to a nickel.  |

So I'm sure you are asking about the nickle. I have no idea what that is all along the reverse rim onto the coins surface. I'm sticking around to see what others may think that is............

It would be nice to see a picture of the hole reverse of that 2003 nickel.

Why photos of a proof dime? Show a clear photo of the entire nickel reverse. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

It appears that the OP reused the same file name and the first images were over written. (He posted that dime in another topic)  |

Please rename your photos when you upload them so they are unique. This post uses err2.jpg, err3jpg, etc. These are terrible names when you use them over and over! You can rename the files on the upload screen...  |

Still got me by the tomatoes - if it is a dry Dryer Coin then that's the strangest one I've ever seen. Edited by Marv65

To the poster...when stacked on top of another nickel, is it the same diameter? I'm wondering if this could be some type of an encasement?.... |

A diameter check would be very welcome. Thinking Dryer Coin, but waiting for a diameter assessment. |

Quote:I'll go with Dryer Coin, now that I see both sides.. Why? There is nothing wrong with the obverse - how would only one side get the rim rolled over on it? If anything, seeing both sides would make me question if it was an actual Dryer Coin. |

I had a nickel with a similar but less extreme foldover a while back. Mike Diamond diagnosed that as the rim metal getting scraped into a thin apron over the edge of the letters. That looks like the same thing here. I bet you could force a toothpick under that folded metal. As for what did that to a nickel—and to the reverse only—I don't have a good guess. Something scraped the rim metal from all directions over the lettering. Could be a washing machine coin that got scraped all over the bottom repeatedly, or maybe the coin was used to level out a table leg from the floor.
