<p>[QUOTE="Tempest, post: 737198, member: 21472"]When I was a kid I could play galaga for hours for a quarter because of a bug in the program. Mom didnt mind because I was at the arcade and not out getting in trouble. She would would give me a quarter and say it was worth far more than 25 cent because it kept me occupied for so long. This nickel has proven to be just as valuable. I got out the torch and found that the heat would turn it into a nice shiny copper color but once removed it would go back to a silver grey. However, if you dump water on the red hot coin, it kept the copper tint. This nickel is going to be "slabbed" for two reasons. 1) it has kept me intrigued for weeks. 2) It has peaked my interest in coins again. I was a kid (three decades ago lol) the last time I looked through my change looking for some neat coin. In the last 2 weeks I have done it every time I walked away from the register. I would like to thank you all for being here to offer your assistance to myself and many others and look forward to "bugging" all of you as I try to rediscover the fun of coin collecting.</p><p> </p><p>Thank you sooo much,</p><p>Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
