I saw this two weeks ago and bought it as a birthday gift to me from me. It looks a little rough around the rim but that normal when a nickel is minted on a cent planchet. It’s a 1976-D Nickel that was minted on a copper planchet that was probably stuck in the machine. Since they are no longer minting Cents, you won’t be seeing any coins being minted on a cent planchet. I can only imagine as I’ve never seen one, a nickel being minted on a zinc planchet. It’s labeled as MS 64 RB for red brown. That would be due to the copper planchet. The color of the cooling actually has a mild pink hint to it, but that’s also normal when this happens. You’ll notice that they noted on the label 2.8 grams for its weight. The rough looking rim is that way because part of the design is missing. There’s just not enough room on a cent planchet to mint everything that’s on a nickel. When their slaughtering her numbers close to the rim that causes the rough look because they’re not all there, a piece of it is missing.
