    Can some one please help me identify this coin? I've tried to find information on it and I can't seem to find anything about it. It has a very small silver nickel, dated 1977, inside of a larger gold nickel that is dated 1984 P and on the cardboard it reads "Presidential Coin Set-Mint Mint Collectors Item" at one point my mom had the full set but they were stollen from her when I was very young and all she has left is this nickel. I am very interested to find out as much about it as possible, especially since I have never seen another one (which doesn't meen a whole lot comin from me. lol). Oh and trying to get a good pic thru the plastic was somewhat difficult so I hope these are ok pics. Thank you :)

    A pregnant Jefferson! I've never seen one in the wild. I thought all of the breeders were kept at the mint. Must be an escapee.

    I was reading through the comments in that link. Well, there's a comment from about a month ago by pennyondime95: "the real double denomination [...]".

    I've seen golden colored minicoins like the silver one, someone must have gotten a silver colored one and put it into the golden colored JEfferson

    Does any one have any idea what it could be worth?

    I don't think it is worth too much, since the miniature coin is not made by the U.S. Mint and the real nickel was damaged by putting the small coin into it, but it would be worth a couple of bucks to the right person as a novelty item.
