I have been searching everywhere for info about this 1935 5 cents that I have with no luck. Hopefully someone here knows something about this piece. They are rays effect around George V's head and on the other side the effect is divided in 4. When you move the coin, the effects kinda move. Thanks !  Edited by Ginger

Homemade.....nice effect.....numismatic value.....zero, some may buy it for folk art. Does look kinda cool. If you wish to part with it let me know.

First of all  to the forum Definitely man made as it is just so perfect and uniform.. Natural toning and effects would be spotty and far from straight lines etc. Nice coin with special effects..  Reminds me of Star Wars |

Really ? I would never have guessed it was homemade cause it's so nicely done. Would make sense since there is no info on that one. Thanks I will let you know !

That is one of the most bizarre alterations I have ever seen but still kinda cool  |

Yeah, that's an interesting one....it shows some skill. It would be good to see a closeup around letters.
Most likely somebody carefully worked that nickel, versus a mint worker altering a die.

Neat...much neater than a hobo nickel.
I wonder when it was done...

My pic is not good enough to make a clear closeup around letters but it's very minutious with no demarcation. I didn't know some people did that and it ended up in circulation again. It is pretty cool, especially when you move it. I guess I own something rare but with no value, I'm waiting for offers lol
