Let's see - a nickel owned by a man who died the year before that design was first minted, silver plated by an agency created 48 years after his...
The picture is too washed out to tell whether there are hairlines, but the overall appearance is consistent with an old cleaning IMHO.
Wouldn't it make more sense to determine genuineness before making the purchase? I'm retired, with a reasonably adequate income from social...
To a collector it's a worthless damaged coin. To an aspiring young magician, however, it's probably worth the $5 it would cost at his/her local...
