    So the cent appears to have been a roadway hockey puck. The nickel, I know nothing! Peace Roy

    Damage/corrosion.
    Nickels have more copper in them than nickel; they corrode quite readily if exposed to the environment.

    I am glad you rescued those coins. You can now turn them around and put them back into circulation so they are no longer stuck in the dirt or in the parking lot.

    BTW, cropping the pics helps a lot.

    Example from your pic.

    Have fun searching.
