<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3130645, member: 78298&quot;]If the steel cent planchets were already cut, your nickels would be the size of pennies not have nickel rims, and weigh 2.7 grams.</p><p>Sure it&#039;s possible that a sheet of uncut steel cents got mixed in with the silver alloy sheets for the nickels. But think about it. You probably wouldn&#039;t have 2 coins that were different years. The nickels would be thinner and lighter. These 2 coins you have look like normal circulated silver war nickels.</p><p>The silver war nickels after 70+ years in circulation have a variety of patinas, looks and even sounds when dropped. These aren&#039;t error coins. Error coins are extremely rare, and even rarer to find in circulation, and rarer still to find them in circulation after 75 years.</p><p>I&#039;m old, I&#039;ve been though millions of coins and besides MAD&#039;s (common) I have found 2 errors. A 2004 nickel which had just come out, and some of the letters are completely missing while others are fully struck (struck through grease or debris). And the other an off center dime which at first I just thought was an MAD until I realized the reverse was also off. Neither one of these is going to make me rich. But they are cool.</p><p>The errors you are talking about are a once in a lifetime find, collectively for a million people searching their entire lives. A million people searching their entire lives, and 1 coin like this &quot;might&quot; turn up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
