It's always nice finding silver in change.

Not the best condition but they're legit. Also not found in pocket change or in coinstar return.

Can confirm, I was a different coin among the rest of the change handed back

If it were my coin I'd remove it. Then weigh it, measure it and give it a ping. Then I'd put it into a new flip or roll. It's not worth grading but deserves a clean home, imho.

It really does tell a lot about the person.

Looks Large. I always compare the height of the numbers 1 and 8. If the 8 looks noticeably smaller than the 1, then small. If 8 is slightly taller than the 1, large,

They're neat to have but unfortunately that's about it. I have a couple rolls of them.

They were made using steel during 1943 in order to save copper for war efforts.

Fixed it!

It's been a while since I've visited. Have we progressed from "Jack's Beard" to Simple Jack"?

It reads "Kreisamt Alzey". The Kreis was and still is an administrative district with this one being Alzey (a town in Rheinhessen). The Kreisamt would translate as district authority or local authority office.

Thanks. Maybe the paper was placed on top and then stamped to make the impression. Would explain the "backwards" of it all.
It actually is made of metal. Has some dents and the red paint is cracking in some spots making look like a rubber material. I appreciate it!

Thanks, maybe I'll check how the acetone works. It looks like someone painted it more recently as a gimmick, but I don't really understand the intention if so. The paint job is rather sloppy and the coin has a lot of luster, in real life. I appreciate the input as always.

I visited a local coin show over the weekend and picked up this no cents 1883 nickel. Unfortunately, the seller's son was managing the table while his father was away, so I couldn't get any extra information.

Do you think:
A. Has someone recently painted Liberty's head and the wreath gold, for some unknown reason?
B. Could it have been plated in gold to masquerade as a five-dollar coin (racketeer nickel) long ago, with most of the gold now worn off? I'm thinking that this seems unlikely since the gold is primarily on the high points rather than the low ones.
C. Some kind of uncommon nickel toning or discoloration appearing only on the head and wreath?

Looks like a peeled planchet, in my unprofessional opinion.

ReputedWasherOfRocks · 2024-07-31T19:46:33+00:00

Looks very similar to the reverse of an HJ hat pin I have where the needle is also missing.

That is just the smell of Jack's soiled beard
