Great...now people are going to be asking us if their one of over 1 billion 1971P nickels is one of these super rare "no S" coins.... :banghead:
Yeah I'd keep it. What else are you gonna do? Toss it in the trash? That being said, it isn't anything special besides someone's experiment.
No. It's damage. Plain and simple.
See all those scratches? That is damage.

I did the same and thought I was clever until I read your post... :/

It is a 1986S American Silver Eagle 1oz Silver coin. Your coin is a proof....ah heck, @kaparthy beat me to it... There were 1,446,778 Proofs...
It's not rust. It's remnants of the copper plating. But hey, what do I know? [IMG]
Stripped of it's copper plating. You can see a few places on the obverse where it wasn't completely stripped away.
