It could be struck on a cent planchet error or nothing more then toning. So if you post a photo the pros can help you with your find. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 07:12 am Thanks for the photo. I'm no pro but the nickel looks fully struck and I would think if it was struck on a cent planchet it would not look like yours so I am going to "guess" it's just toning. Lets wait for a pro to chime in because I am wrong as much as I'm right LOL. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5909 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 2:08 pm My opinion is that its not stuck on a cent planchet, as the size and thickness show in the photo is closer to the nickel alloy. It also doesn't look that the clad layer is missing. I think maybe a environmental issue where it is stored. Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 3:16 pm looks like it was just toned like that somehow or it is real dirty. as mentioned, it does not look like it was struck on a cent planchet, and does not appear to be missing the nickel coating.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 16012 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 4:47 pm to the CCF! Pleased to have you here. I state without any hesitation that this nickel is not struck on a cent planchet. The color is a result of toning due to the conditions this coin has seen ... nickels tone in a wide range of colors and this one is unusual ... but explainable. Nice comparison photo as well.
