It's not silver. The old nickels are just worn. The 1978 looks normal.
Oh yeah. I don't mean to sell. Just when I get a coin for .01 cent face that is worth a dollar, just put it in a flip and save it.
Is this when they went from large notes to small notes? Why is the serial # so high? Were these exp. notes circulated?
At my old LCS he wasn't big on world coins, and he would have a huge jar that you could pull some for 50 cents or 75 cents. I took a 1930's...
A transitional (off metal) error would be a 1946 on a 1945 silver nickel planchet. These metals rust and look like that all the time.

I don't see any other doubling on the reverse. So why would Lincoln be doubled? Perhaps a clearer photo would help. Get your stinking paws off me...

I know it has no extra value. But I dug this gold plated 1960 out of some wood chips a couple months back. It looks better in hand, I will try and...
Most local shops will have a big jarful of Mercs that you can go through and buy for ( $1.50 or $2 each, w/e).
They say 7 solids is still good. Nice ones.
One troy ounce of silver is 31.1 grams. A more accurate scale will help and a weight of 27 grams would be a good sign. (27.0674g)
The reason I said 35 is while there is good detail on the obv its not crisp enough for XF. And on the reverse the worn out WE and area of the...
28 grams is not in the range that you posted.
