Obviously joking about 70, but I am curious about it and what made it occur, and hey, I wouldn't be disappointed to find out its worth $10 million lol.

    Well perhaps they will stop by and educate me. I wish I had come here first before sending my other coins, but hopefully something good will still come out of it. In the meantime, learning is very cool. Also thought Id have some fun with grammar natzi lol. Well Im not one to be offended easily, but I will poke fun back lol.

    If you take it out to the parking lot and run over it a few more times it could improve the look & value. :D

    Giantsfan....I know you mean well. But the truth is, he's here, he's here to stay, and he'll never go away. Let it go. Maybe someday the lights will go off in his mommies basement. Until then.....he's here....just let it go my friend.

    @2fun2Bbad Thought the OP was humor.

    Coins damaged after leaving the Mint. Can be found in the ground or in parking lots/roadways by metal detectors or by those looking down and not at their smartphones. ;)

    It may be a rare mint error that could be worth ONE MILLION DOLLARS. ;)

    Let's start with NICKEL.

    So picking up a coin that looks like its life has been harder than mine isn't enough? I have to endure word nazis? Thank you for your input, even if it wasn't needed.

    To me it looks like salt water (sodium chloride, NaCl) pitting damage and corrosion combined with possibly parking lot damage but the obverse does have some nice rainbow toning if one looks past all the environmental damage. This type of corrosion typically occurs in alloys that are protected by a tenacious (passivating) oxide film such as stainless steels, and nickel alloys, in environments that contain an aggressive species such as chlorides (Cl-). Several coins in New Orleans after Katrina in contaminated sea water had a look like this. This nickel date is really 75% copper and 25% nickel alloy.

    Pretty sure it is just worth a nickel.
