@GH#75 I think it's just a plated specimen like the kind you can buy off the Home Shopping Network. It looks like it was in circulation for...
Yes, the rotated nickel is my favorite for this lot. Fun find! I'm actually shocked how fast you can get through your boxes and still find the...
Output per day is something like 16 million cents per mint. How that divides amongst equipment and dies is anybody's guess I suppose. But 70,000...
I'll add (and echo) hardness, composition, and speed.
May have been a science project gone badly (arc/light plating). It's a spender.

I'm with you. It would take me months to get through those. I have $50 Unc rolls that I haven't touched since I bought them 4 months ago. I...

This is the first 1909 I found...buried in sand as a kid with my metal detector. Not pretty...but it has a story. It's one I'll keep for my...
I checked out Maddieclashes.com...I don't see one for your date. Have a second look and consider submitting photos to the site operators. Good...
They term clashes like this Monticello burning. You can see the clash on the obverse as well. Nice find!
Fun find!
