One sided nickel.

Found a nickel with tail side only. Head side is blank. What is this worth?

2.5 cents
Someone ground the obverse off.
If you can spend it for 5 cents you win

 

Agreed ground/milled/sanded


Welcome to CoinTalk BTW.

 

Hmmm, on ebay right now...

 

Pic's are waaaaaaay to small

 

Agreed. And blurry. That doesn't not mean this is not something good though!

 

OH, Though you were talking about his/her picture. Hows this?

 

Which are you referring too? The op's or the ebay

 

Sorry about the confusion. The pictures posted by woodrome are to blurry to determine if this is a full struck through obverse...

 

Compare its thickness to another nickel and weigh it. If it's as thick as a normal nickel and weighs 5 grams, you might have something.

 

I have a Nickel that is ground off mics out the same thickness as a normal nickel and weighs 5 grams. We just don't know we want to find out what the deal is with ours

 

You need to post pictures!
If you see an upraised rim on the Blank side it could be a Struck Through Die Cap which occurs on Nickels. No way to tell without pictures!

 

I have this nickel from 2014 I I have weighed it and it's 5 grams the same as a normal nickel. I put it side by side to other nickels it looks to be the same thickness.
if this was ground it would have circular marks on it. all the marks as stright and come from the center of the coin out.
the edge of the nickel seems to feel sharper..
Does anyone have any idea what a nickel like this costs??

 

just did bellow yes the Edge is kinda sharp Not sure what that means

 

Your coin is grounded down.

 

at 5 grams the same as a Nickle Interesting.

 

Your scale probably rounded up to the nearest gram. Please put that nickel and another nickel side by side.

 

I bought a mixed coin lot on eBay and one was an older Indian Head cent with no reverse at all - I thought it might be a mint error until I weighed it (much lighter that the original) - once upon a time, some 'handyman' had obviously machined the reverse clean off

 

I have an old Jefferson nickel that has been in my collection a long time, that is one sided. The blank side has 5 cents written on it with a marker.
From memory, it looks to possibly be a bit bigger around, as if it was not in the collar when struck. I never thought to check for grind marks or weigh it.
Have not dug it out for years, as I did not think it was very valuable. Anyone who thinks otherwise is welcome to buy it for a small fortune, he-he

 

you're Right after putting them side by side with another coin you can see that it is less than the original coin. Some people have WAY to much time on there hands.. Sorry for wasting this threads time.
