Well a 1943 cent on a copper planchet is a million bucks so a 1943 nickel on a copper planchet would be at the least ten million bucks! Nice find

 

I love the expert use of italics

 

Nickels are already 75% copper.
Its an alloy.
We call them nickels for their nickel flavor.
LOL

 

Where are the pictures and what is a cooper planchet?

Again, welcome to CT.

 

It's a war nickel which is why it looks different to you.

 

It's from a barrel hoop! After they make the Jack Daniels barbeque chips from the used barrel staves, they have all these hoops left over...so....

 

A great response, thank you.

 

I probably should have explained for those who don't know, that a "cooper" is a barrel maker; "cooperage" is the art of making a barrel.
