<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve7975, post: 4320347, member: 109150&quot;]A STRANGE LOOKING NICKEL</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 1988 P-mint Jefferson nickel.&nbsp; It’s so bright and lustrous that one might take it as a proof coin.&nbsp; I don’t know where I got it.&nbsp; The obverse image “A” shows four nickels.&nbsp; The coin on the left is a 1993 Nickel.&nbsp; The coin on the right is a 2000 Nickel.&nbsp; The coin on top is a 1998 Nickel.&nbsp; The coin in the middle is the lustrous Nickel in question.&nbsp; For comparison purposes, please note that the coins on both sides and at the top show the expected change in shade and color due to normal wear and tear when these coins were in circulation. The Nickel in the middle is much brighter than the others.&nbsp; It also displays a very slight orange tone. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the reverse side (image “B”), to the right of the Monticello building, there is what appears to be discoloration.&nbsp; This is not discoloration.&nbsp; Using a jeweler’s loop and XACTO knife with a fine pointed blade, I was able to feel the very edge of the silver.&nbsp; The three defects sure look like microscopic pieces of silver that may have broken off.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would be very grateful to get your analysis and opinion about this Nickel.&nbsp; What are my options with this coin?&nbsp; Thank you.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1097800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1097801[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
