I posted this one before I cleaned it and then he said it was just dirty but now that I cleaned it I realize that it still looks copper and not only that it has very strange markings and I don't know if it's just a fake but it weighs 5.2 g
Nickels with color change because of Environmental Exposure Damage will stay dark no matter how much you clean it. I know because I have tried it.
Environmental damage! It's very common. Chris PS. Try to get out of the habit of taking super close-ups. They really are useless.
I thought maybe it was a counterfeit possibly because the other image imposed on it and the weight being over 5 G's
I just found this one w the same marks on mine. I hope I didn't screw up by using cleaner. I assumed it was just environmental. Is this one also not really copper. Just wondering cause I found another one online w same marks too as a 1964 as well as this other one. Worth grading?
Your nickels are all normal nickels. Both are environmental damage. Not struck on copper planchets intended for cents. Clean them all you want it makes no difference in value. 5 Cents each.
So even though there is no silver/nickel color it's still a reagular nickel. Sorry for persistence but I'm having a hard time understanding this even after cleaning and sanding w sand paper the nickel on top is much thinner and looks like I can make out a (ty) from liberty and there is only shiny copper showing. But it's still not an error coin. Just confused after seeing now this other onevthat is cirtified with the same markings and cirtified as a metal error planchette (penny) My 64 makes perfect sense after your comment I sanded the edge and easyily saw the shiny nickel but the other has no aperence of a nickel planchette. Thinking my pictures being so close earlier make it look very different then what I'm seeing here. So wantvto she sure I'm not tossing something I should save I tried posting pics about my comment but o don't see the pics I tried to post
A nickel struck on a Cent Planchet would be Smaller in circumference.. the same size as a Cent Thinner.. the same thickness as a Cent Planchet Weigh less.. the same weight as a Cent Planchet Please leave it alone. You don't have a Mint Error. Just Environmental Damage on a Old Nickel.
