<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SarahNovice, post: 4006463, member: 110069&quot;]Hi Friends,</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1054735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1054736[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1054737[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1054738[/ATTACH] I am a complete and utter novice. I know NOTHING about coins, although my grandmother was a collector and I possess a few things that might be interesting. I do buy and sell vintage and antique items, more as a hobby and as a collector than as a business. I just like cool old things!</p><p><br /></p><p>So last week I bought a lot from a collector. It was a box of interesting old items like antique dog license tags, chauffeur badges, old pens, etc. My husband was looking through it and said &quot;Woah, what&#039;s with that weird nickel?&quot; I hadn&#039;t even noticed it. It looked like a regular nickel to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>He told me that there was something odd about it, that the strike and surface were unusual. It still looked like a normal nickel to me. I have a bunch of coin books from grandma&#039;s collection, so I went to see if I had any other 1964 nickels to compare it to, while my husband looked up 1964 nickels on the internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, so now I see that it is indeed different. But it seems 99.9% unlikely that this is one of THOSE 1964 nickels. The SMS ones. But now we need to ask people who know a lot more than we do. Here is the auction nickel along with two 1964 nickels from my grandma&#039;s collection. I would love to hear your opinions, but please be kind, we truly and freely admit we do not know what we are doing. Thank you!! </p><p><br /></p><p>Sarah[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
