What does your 1987 nickel on quarter stock weigh JCro?
If it was on a dime planchet it would be silver not copper. You're lucky it's not a 1931-S.
It doesn't cost 1.25 cents to produce a nickel. It also doesn't cost .25 cents to produce a dime nor .25 to make a quarter.
I think if you hold up all of those notes to a mirror they aren't going to look the same.
In the very first photo I sort of pareidoliaed a D. But in the other photos don't see it. Wouldn't make much difference anyway. Into the coin...
Ooh the coin abyss.
The government that produces the nickels doesn't see any value back from making them. It's just an expense. Sure if you think you are saving money...
When you factor in other expenses besides just the metal costs (salaries, machine maintenance, utilities, etc.) It's always going to cost more to...
USA Coin Book (online) lists 30. But they are not always accurate. 1944 P Steel Cent 30 (Good link though for people interested in this 1944...

So are you going to list the Irish half penny? That's not a good idea as you don't know if it's real or not and it is likely faked. If you sell a...
OK I will go as high as $20.
They probably are still printing them now, but with older dates. Until a design change is made (different signature, etc.) they keep printing them...
If they have to mint the cents, they could do a very low number (3 million, whatever) there's enough in circulation for a long time. Producing...
The weight is pretty close to 5 g. If the planchet is clad, then it must be from quarter stock since the densities of the two coins are similar...
If this was a real error and I am not convinced it is, what is it worth around $10?
The 2 key dates of the series in high grades would be worth slabbing also to show authenticity. But since this was an inheritance and is likely to...
Those reprocessed steelies are worthless. They may look nice, but they have no value. The steelies are VERY common you can go to any coin store,...
Yes it was a joke about poor journalism. What, they didn't have any large head notes to use?
Separate names with a comma.
