Canada-5c-1936-Bright Nickel

Hi,

Do you know if 1936 Canada nickel 1936 like the right one is common?

I have lot of 1922-1936 nickel but they all look like the left one (matt, no brightness)

The right one is very bright... look like 70's quarters. Is exist different nickel variety?





Thank you!

The one on left may not have any original luster, but I think your right coin might be dipped/cleaned cause with that many dings that luster is abnormal... but im no expert.

 

HI xGAJx,

Yes, look like a clean coin but i don't think it is one. There is a mirror effect on this coin. You can see it on rim too.



Thank you!

That is interesting.. It probably was plated.

 

Hi Petro89,

It's a possibility. There are lot of scratches on this coin. Profound scratch look bright too. It's interesting... sure

Thank you!

plated or polished

 

Hi Conder101,

Maybe "plated" but there are lot of bright and profound scratches... it's weird. "Polished"... i don't think you can have a mirror effect with "dull nickel". Normaly, nickel look like light to dark grey on my 1922-1936 5c coins.

Thank you!
