[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2444091, member: 24314"]It took some looking but let me back up my opinion: This is a 100% original AU-58 Buffalo nickel with a copper streaked planchet. The copper is visible on the struck coin. If I wished to ruin this coin, I could dip it to make the copper color more contrasting with the nickel color. If I were to polish this coin SOME of the thinner copper "impurity" due to an incomplete mixture of the alloy layer IN THE PLANCHET [COLOR=#b30000]may[/COLOR] come off. :cigar:[/QUOTE]
