Oh I dunno Sylvester - I can think of literally hundreds of original Proof sets and original Maundy sets - in or recently from the UK - that have...
Yes, a scanner will work just fine for pics. But I suspect that your nickel is just toned a copper color - this is not uncommon.
That makes sense - but if I ever found two of the same denomination AND the same number - it would give me pause.
One problem - nickels are not clad. In order for one to be struck in copper - and there are no copper US planchets by the way - it would have to...

Howdy DameCC - Welcome to the Forum !! Value for any coin is based largely on condition. Date and mint mark also play a part. But with what you...

Howdy jjoe - Welcome to the Forum !! Try reading this thread here on Coin Talk - Clcik Here - it should help you understand.
I'm not complaining either Marty - I've used them for years and will continue to do so. They are in my opinion the best coin holder on the market...
