    Rotation normal; weight normal; composition normal.

    Unnatural bright luster in the fields; crushed rims; much flatter than normal.

    I'm thinking this was struck with fake dies...

    Interesting
    Possibly a grease struck through? Would like to hear what the experts think

    YES, off metal.

    I don't see fake dies.

    based on the top rim of the reverse, I would put in a vote for fake dies. however, as a disclaimer, this is way out of my wheelhouse.

    If weight and composition = normal, what leads you to say "off metal"?

    I see too much stuff going on that I don't know how to plausibly explain. I don't like it either.

    well, simply by the fact it is a nickel on a copper planchet.

    Thanks - I just misunderstood by "composition normal" = thought you were referring to a nickel!
