[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3295088, member: 19250"]Correct the same medal as a shield nickel,however... compare size and thickness. The nickel 3 cent piece is thin but again not a softer silver alloy. So stinking a coin in a soft medal as silver where the medal flows easy when struck...to a rock hard medal that is unforgiving when struck. That does not flow easy when struck . That's why 3 cent nickel and shield nickels have so many strike issues. Now here's a question for you to research.... why did the mint switch from a silver 3 cent piece and a silver half dime to ...nickel / copper alloy? This is very interesting part of U.S.history as well in nusmistic history. I compare it to some of the same reasons that occured in 1964 /1965 when once again U.S. coinage had a major change as far as materials used to produce coins. Understanding such gives the collector the knowlege of the who ,what and why's the changes occured. The reasons in history that changed a series is very important to understand why some series go on for decades and others in less than.... Again I challenge you to research and learn only to sharpen your knowlege to hold your own against others who may challenge you.[/QUOTE]
