<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 948793, member: 7957"]I have lots of nickels whose "color is off", and lots who are not "shiney". Those indicators are meaningless. The "not round" can be done to a real coin, but not easily without secondary damage. The scratch you reference is absolutely not a casting line. A casting line would go all the whole way around parallel to the rim. The simple fact that the coin weighs 5 grams pretty much says that it is not a casting. It is nearly impossible to cast something with the proper density. Castings tend to be porous and lower density.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
