    I got this Nickel and i buffed if with a lens rag to see if the spot was, but it didnt go away, under magnification, the spot is not raised of sunk, no edge and not glue of gunk, its perfectly level with the metal. Also a dime with weak bottom detail any opinion. Whatcha think

    well thats why im asking, i dont know. could it be some form of strike through or metal imperfection, like i said its level, no edge no raise or fall, just flat, only different is the color, im only asking cuz I wanna know if its worth keeping in a flip, thanks

    Not after you "buffed it". Looks to be a proof?

    The nickel could be a post mint stain or would be something to do with the planchet. The dime sounds like a strike through (grease on the die). I don't think either one is worth a flip or 2X2 unless you wanted to keep them as reference.
