[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 948313, member: 19765"]Yesterday after work my wife gave me a nickel she had found at work in the coffee fund money. Make a long story short the nickel is a 1990-D counterfeit!Here's just a small bit of info as you can see it in the pics. The nickel weighs the right amount 5 grams, but I took it to my coin club last night to get a few opinions and everyone agreed that it's a casted fake. Heck some of you will agree just by looking at the pics and some of you won't. There are three major indicators of this coin being a counterfeit. The coloring is off and the area surrounding the devices is not flat and shiney like a regular nickel would be. When you lay one nickel on top of the other (like in a roll), the fake one is not round like the real one. The last thing is that there is a line on the rim of the coin. It's a small line but I think that's the line that shows it is not a minted nickel. just giving y'all the heads up.[/QUOTE]
