    Hello, nice to meet you.:)

    This nickel is pretty weird. I think it was overstamped or something. I can't think of anything else that could do this to a coin without totally flattening the face, the building and all the writing.

    The side with the face has the sharpest slope in the edge. The side with the building is also oddly edged: it's pushed down so there's a slope and it's slightly ballooned (?) out.

    It weighed in on a home postage scale at 5g but the scale can't weigh past whole numbers.

    Has anyone seen this before?

    Looks to me like it was either spoon tapped or maybe even lightly smashed with a vice or something.

    Damaged.....I agree that it was spooned.
