stumpy041486 Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 06/16/2010 12:05 pm I know this will probably be impossible to do without pics, but I have a nickel that may be an error. I will try and get pics later. I have a cam, but the cord that connects the cam to computer broke and I haven't found a new one yet. The building on the back of the nickel is copper looking with none of the silver looking metal (nickel?) Could this be a possible planchet error or something? That is the best I can do to describe it. Report this Post to the Staff

stumpy041486 Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 06/16/2010 9:58 pm Sorry I should have done that. It is a 1986 P. The copper color is also all around the edge on the reverse. Anyone seen anything like this? Report this Post to the Staff
