No, it is a normal nickel. It is from being buried, I see it all the time metal detecting.
I don't really understand your question, but a 1976 nickel with no mint mark is just a normal coin minted in Philadelphia. In circulated...
I agree with the spooning and the "about the same size". Can you post a picture of it with a normal quarter for comparison?
Looks like it is in a bezel.
Agreed, hard to say from that picture but looks like it may have been polished.
Agreed, it is just that I was always taught you needed to look at both sides of a coin to grade it, just seems like it would have been better to...
Pretty much face value for all of those unless there is something in there that I am missing.
Who knows, could have been a sales promotion of some kind where a bunch of 1957 d cents were plated and given out.
Pretty simple, if you really don't think it is plated submit it to a reputable third party grader like pcgs for authentication.
It looks like it just got banged up, flattening the letters a little.
I don't like the look of the coin at all, I am afraid it is not genuine.
Where did you buy the coin? I am afraid I agree with Rheingold, I think it is a fake.
I don't understand how they could even give that a vg details grade. What original details are there to go by?
I think AU is a bit optimistic, maybe in the VF range somewhere. There is also quite a rim ding, but if found for face value you can't beat that.
Don't buy your ticket, definitely a cast replica. It is a poor copy of an Oak tree threepence. A genuine coin would be paper thin, and not have...
As stated, the original dime is environmental damage, the cent is intentionally damaged, and the second dime appears to be toned. Nothing there...
I also just see a normal dime that has environmental damage. Maybe you can post better pictures and point out what you are seeing.
Looks like a normal circulated 1944 cent.
Looks to have a bezel on it, probably plated for jewelry of some sort.
The video is too blurry and shaky to really see the coin. Good clear still photos are necessary to really give an opinion.
Separate names with a comma.
