The original composition of this coin is 56% copper 35% silver and 9% manganese. It's almost 100% that is still the composition. There's no point...
Don't take what he said the wrong way. I also believe something is not adding up. Have you tested this magnet on other war nickels and regular...
The tolerance for copper cents is +/-.13 making the range 2.98-3.24. 3.28 is not heavy enough to be significant.
The silver planchet alone could be $35. link: https://coinsite.com/us-error-coin-values/
There are blanks with the rim, and blanks without the rim. The ones without are worth more. Yours is prob $2- $3 depending if it is zinc or...
Why your 1922 Peace dollar is probably not worth 100K: Only 35,401 “High Relief” business strike Peace Dollars were produced in 1922, but all were...
It was not put there when it was made. It's a counterstamp. It's put on post mint. As a coin there is no value. 1 cent. However, people do collect...

It practically looks like mold. And I also thought the big spot looks like spilled paint. I bet if V.Kurt were still here he might have some mad...
While 55-S is a lower mintage compared to other modern cents, they were saved and many survive in MS condition. An entire roll is a good find....
I would keep it as a sentimental find. Even in good shape it's about a dollar. Yours is in the ten cent arena.
None of those are magnetic. 4.68 is a bit light.
Error looked familiar. Taking anything to a pawnshop is an act of desperation or ignorance. Why wouldn't you go to a coin shop? And for all the...
Scratching the edge of this coin is not going to damage it any further. I am not sure of the Henning composition. It probably was some kind of...
The coins can tone even in a proof set. Gases can get trapped in there and tone the metal, or, perhaps it's not 100% air tight. I have an older...
The coin appears to be a normal circulated silver war nick. I would be more suspicious of the "magnet". If the magnet is not yours, then someone...
