It is a war nickel, it is made out of 35% silver, it just has a odd toning. Nothing special here, worth about $1.

I agree, it is toned. You got to weigh coins you think are off metal. We can't test them or weigh them using images.

Hey N, I have a suggestion for you photos, use a black background, the contrast helps in the details of the coin.

So to add on to what JTCC said, as to your nickel, remember that the "War Nickel" metal alloys where a different alloy. Because of the war, Nickel was a restricted commodity. So instead 25% nickel and 75% copper, pre war components, the war Nickle had no "Nickel", (what do you mean my nickel has no nickel) it's composition was 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese, so the war nickel is far more reactive to environmental damage than the regular nickel. So weigh it, and see what that shows.

I think it is just environmental damage, remember back in the day we used pennies, nickels, and quarters as a solder patch to repair holes in gas tanks and car radiators. 😁😁😁

Don't tell me, spray paint, overspray shadow.

OP I recommend House Of Color Shimrin 2, and an IWATA 5905 WS400 Super Nova 1.3, (I'm partial to Iwata)
