The larger the error the better. These are minor, but still cool.
5 cent nickels are all 75% copper and 25% nickel. Except for the Jefferson war nickels.
Yes. I assume the machine didn't take it for weight? It weighs 5.3g. Maybe it's a recovered dryer coin. I'll try it in the grocery acceptor tomorrow.
I like it as an MS coin. It's worth a dollar.

Whoops. Missed the tab by that much. Proof and OP photos. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I thought the other photo showed the curl better than the proof photo below. The 0 seems to match the business strike photo.
Now I don't know any more. Here's the other photos (not the proof) along with the OP. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The 9 in the OP really curls around very far. Even more than the proof photo from the LCR
I have a few just sitting in an old 35mm plastic film container. Back in the days before digital cameras when you actually needed film. These are...
The dime I keyed out of the coin acceptor slot. But someone left this nice FR-02/AG-03 1988-P on the shelf. [ATTACH]

I reread the thread and there's nothing offensive in here or violating forum rules. There were a couple of link/coin dealer signatures. You don't...
I find the $1.80 to be very high for a common date V nickel in G-4 (1900-1908, 1910-1912). If it were not mangled, I would be more in the $1...
Hard to tell through the mint packaging. If there is doubling, it might not be because of a doubled die. Is this variety listed anywhere?

The bronze around the edge is the copper core. Not likely to be silver. .25 cents.
While it is not a physical coin, it is currency/ a medium of exchange. And in that regard it does qualify. And the discussion has been respectful....
As for the 1955-S even in a very nice MS grade, I don't think it's worth grading. If it were to be graded PL and be the only 1 in the population,...
It's easier to tell if a coin has an error, if it is in good condition. Once it has circulated, it's hard to tell an error from damage.
Separate names with a comma.
