[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8238451, member: 101855"]Hi [USER=105823]@Michael M Mabb[/USER] I afraid that I don't have good news for you. Both of your coins are corroded. The 1912-D has the sharpness of a VF, but it's got corrosion on both sides. That is the black - green color. A nice old nickel should have the same color as a modern circulated nickel you might find in your pocket. The same is true for the 1912-P. It looks like someone tired to scrap some of the corrosion off the piece on the obverse below Ms. Liberty's chin. As such they both have nominal values.
