<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 749090, member: 112&quot;]While I would agree about the quarter being a ground find, the nickel is another matter. Getting stuck in a dryer does not cause layers of the coin to peel away. First of all nickels are not made in layers like clad coins, they are made of a solid alloy. So no, that is not a dryer nickel. Can&#039;t say what it is exactly, but that&#039;s definitely not it.</p><p><br /></p><p>target - I would suggest that you weigh the nickel. If you don&#039;t have scales then take it to a jewelry store and have them weigh it. Get the weight to the nearest hundreth gram.</p><p><br /></p><p>What the nickel may be is some sort of annealing error. Mike Diamond discusses them in a an article in the Nov. 30th issue of <i>Coin World</i>. But he doesn&#039;t have an explanation for what they are or how they got that way either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
