[QUOTE="BRockwell, post: 219363, member: 8676"]I have no experience collecting coins whatsoever, but I got a nickel the other day. 1988 D. Its not all shiney or anything, but the back is half copper. - More like 75%. The back is a typical Nickel back but with copper just mixed , but more as iff the copper the majority of the color and the actual silver nickel color is only in an off-center upper right circle. I remember watching a coin show on TV once about how these errors of not cleaning the dies or something can cause copper to get into other coin stamps and these are rare, but I cannot find any other info online. Does anyone know what this is called? Or any more info. Or how much something like this would be worth? Thanks, Brandon [color=red]It is not a good idea to post your email address anywhere except in your profile.[/color][/QUOTE]
