Very interesting, great piece of history thanks. Nice pickup on the farthing. I have a holed halfpenny, probably the only one I will ever have...
I believe the "mound of metal" is simply a bubble in the clad layer caused by heat.
You are correct for once! Anyone with no knowledge would see it that way, but those of us with knowledge see it for what it is, just damaged.
Sorry, I wasn't questioning you! I just can't believe the original poster could possibly think this one is anything but damage. I agree...
Are you serious? This coin is very clearly just badly damaged, horribly scraped and gouged.
Large, but large or small still only worth one cent each.
Copper can tone any number of different colors depending on it's environment, nothing unusual.
If you can see copper on the edge then it is the normal copper nickel clad, not silver.
Only worth face value. 1964 was a very high mintage year and this one has a lot of damage. The circular rings are damage if you were asking...
No, definitely not. That 1970 s on a 1941 Canadian quarter was a one of a kind. Yours is on a regular clad planchet, the 1941 Canadian would be...
Might be AU if not for the nasty gouges on Lincoln's head.
If you like it keep it, nothing wrong with that. There are many ways to collect coins but in the end it is about collecting what you like, they...

After 1978 as it states that the Ike dollar circulated from 1971-1978.
How did the portrait of another president get on the coin, and which other president is it? The minting process is fairly straight forward and...
maybe @paddyman98 could answer this, would a metal detector with really good target ID tell the difference between the two nickel types? I have a...
There is no way there can be two different presidents on there. I would suggest studying up on the minting process, a good understanding is...
Looks like the edge may have been damaged from being in a bezel or an encasement of some sort. Should be more opinions along shortly.
Well they are worth one cent each, unless extremely high grade or an error. You will need to show both sides to be sure.
