<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quartertapper, post: 4325148, member: 16104&quot;]It is possible that this coin was plated in a manufacturing facility or science class. We have a plating business in our town where I could totally picture someone throwing a handful of change in a batch of parts. I remember zinc plating Lincoln cents in 7th grade science class, and then if we heated it up in a gas flame, it would turn a cool gold color. With such a thin layer of metal, I doubt weighing the coin could verify this was what happened to your nickel. Looking at the fields on the obverse leads me to suspect that this coin may indeed be plated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
