<p>[QUOTE="misterf, post: 1279802, member: 33580"]<b>I have a copper nickel as well and I am a collector 1964 d</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 1964 d nickel that is copper but you need to have it sent off and for authentication alot of nickels that year did turn a uneven coppertone because of all the copper in the nickel due to being buried or heat treated from house fire or being in sandy or gravel area dirt areas. Value unknown i seen one with papers on auction for 2,000 dollars but it did not sell and I havnt had time to look into it but coin dealers are scared of them! I am curently on a 1700 sellement in missourri and have found strange things (1) I am hoping someone can help me with . It is 1/4 in by 1/4 inch string cut square in shape and wieghs 4.3 and on the left it has a knight in french armor at attention and on the right it has a king holding a goblet at cheers twords the knight and it has roman numerals on the bottom and the kings crown and knights helmet are ingraved and the otherside has writing at the bottom i cant make out and i believe a crest but it is made out of pewter i believe and it has a ceramic coating over the coin , the coin was string cut before it was coated most detail can only be seen under electron microscope and the french settled here but the spanish governed it prior to a few pioneers in a small village and before that it was native americans St louis county mo. I will post a pic when i get back to my set up I understand its importantce but you cant make it out well . I dont know if it was a french government seal, coin wieght i dont think or perhaps settelers currency. Or old foreighn square coin . Thank you very much I also found servant bells and cloak brooches and raw materials among many old coins and relics and the" most interesting " in a big creek at the bottom of a huge rock bluff a piece of metal soft and shiny but hard to I know confusing huh? like silver but can blind you if the sun reflects it and I have tried to cut the corner but nothing I have will cut it and it broke the teeth on my saw ? It is not magnetic and a torch wouldnt discolor it I cant melt it and it is less than a quarter inch thick but hard and soft ? the only way to explain it is its like a cross between aluminum foil and an earplug when you fold it or bend it it just goes back flat with no wrinkles but you cant stab a hole through it anyone know what kind of metal this is ? it was in a dirty creek and looks manmade but had nothing growing on it didnt even have to wash it off dont know much about aviation wondered if it was off a new plane or something but no crash site just an idea ??? not gold not silver not copper not aluminum and not spring steel my steel shears froze up on it and its about 2 foot by 2 foot and unbeleivably light wieght and no writing numbers or markings . I dont know my other metals any help would be great and I will try to figure out what the nickel is worth and post it asap. thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
