[QUOTE="ten-cents, post: 748707, member: 19568"][b]Pocket Piece and Environmental Damage[/b] I think that the nickel was carried around as a pocket piece, as evidenced by the odd wear pattern. I've seen other, older, coins like this. Just think; if someone carried this around in their pocket since 1983, it might have obtained the wear it has. The quarter, on the other hand, has been in the ground and has serious environmental damage to boot. Both are genuine, IMHO, because it wouldn't be worth it to make counterfeits of modern, very worn, coins. Hope this helps you out![/QUOTE]
