<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 756668, member: 21603&quot;]I&#039;ve noticed that older coins (ones from the 70&#039;s) seemed like they have more nickel cladding them.&nbsp; I have no proof, but it is my belief that because the nickel is more expensive than the copper, it is in the mints interest to make the nickels layers as thin as possible.&nbsp; So, with improved technology the nickel edges have become thinner and thinner.&nbsp; You see this easily with quarters from the 70&#039;s versus the statehood quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
