Looks like a combination of circulation wear with some environmental damage. Laminations are not unusual on nickels, but this doesn't look like...

Sicily (Norman Kings): gold tari of Guglielmo I ("William the Bad"), ca. 1154-1166 AD [IMG] Though I could have pursued rounder examples with...
That thought crossed my mind as well. I've heard of coins being coated with mercury, though I've not seen any in hand. I wonder if they're...
Thanks. Hopefully fixed now.
I really love the Portuguese coinage of that era, and many of their copper-nickel coins acquired the ideal "CircCam" appearance, for some reason....

And Featured it shall be. Interesting, indeed. I have a very odd Kennedy item I'll try to remember to post later. I doubt it's any official or...

It's true. Amazing how much stuff you can type right into Google and get what you want almost immediately. For example, US postal tracking...
At least it's not Comic Sans.
I'm sure when @TIF gets one, it will not only be awesome, but will also come with an amusing TIF-GIF animation! :D
I'm afraid I can't help since modern error coins are not really my thing, but hello and welcome.
Nothing here looks terribly unusual to me. It took some hits in circulation over the years.
