Agreed. But if you think it will be hard to do away with the cent and start a "brown" nickel wait until they try to redesign the nickel,...
If it's not AU then it didn't miss by much. If it's a slightly soft strike then I could go with AU.
My first thought was this is one of the steps for replacing the cent. Since the nickel, like the cent, costs more than face to produce changing it...
