vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 5:59 pm put a $100 bid on this coin? It is NOT struck on a cent planchet! Again, I get much of my humor from ebay. looks like it was found with a metal detector. It has that color. http://cgi.ebay.com/1974-copper-nic...or_W0QQitemZ 280457155983QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item414c8c958f swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 11:01 pm I'm not assuming anything. If he's not a noob as you have suggested, then it's even a worse situation. He/she is either highly ignorant, or just a moron. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 5:59 pm I know this an old thread but in my opinion that coin was copper electroplated using slightly too much current. I'd say 12v in a low saturated bath will give that texture on a nickel. buyer left the following feedback "This guy is great ! total trust, his word is gold, BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! thomasb3 ( 8 ) Feb-22-10 13:55 1974 copper nickel error (#280457155983)" What a total shill Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 8:27 pm It looks to me to be environmental damage. US "nickels" are after all 75% copper, which can tone under the right conditions. Report this Post to the Staff
