I got a denver 2005 Jefferson/Buffalo nickel as change for lunch today. I haven't seen very many of them, this one really struck me as it's golden colored like a sacagawea dollar. Is it some kind of proof coin or something? I looked online but I can't find anything about it. I took some (blurry) pics with my phone, attached. Sorry to trouble you guys but it seemed interesting to me, the pics I could find online didnt seem to be golden colored. Thanks for any feedback Nathan
No trouble at all. Welcome! Could you take some better pics? A tip for you to get real close without it becoming blurry. On your camera the should be a button or icon that has a flower on it. Press it. I think it is called the macro mode, but not sure. Personally it looks plated, but not sure by the pics. Still, a neat find, to say the least. Phoenix
golden jefferson I am pretty sure at this point it's plated - I found a seller on ebay offering gold plated 2005 jeffersons that look similar. It was pretty cool to find though. Pics attached.
Something I've noticed with these 2005 nickels is toning has been happening very rapidly. I've pulled quite a few out of change and even a few that were at the end of my mint rolls that were similar. A very nice gold colored toning that was very even. While I don't necisarily like it, it is interesting!!
