In change from McDonalds

I got this in change the other day from McDonalds. I can't believe that some young employee even knew it was a nickel and not a slug. Maybe they just wanted to get rid of it.
Have a good day, Gary

That’s a pretty amazing circulation find. Also, I bet you could sell it to @emeraldATV for a nice profit.

We need some close up pics from emeraldATV.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Imagine if it was 1913 that's been circulating since 1913!
Nice!
Someone spent a metal detecting find.
Yup. That coin spent a lot of time in the ground based on the heavy corrosion.

PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get it as a cent? or actually as a nickel in change? Lets see, count, count, count, SHAZBOT - I was short changed after all - LOL!!!!

Some slight verdigris that doesn't distract overall. A rare San Fransisco earthquake year and highly desirable. Should face fierce competitive bidding among enthusiasts."

Add references to a peacock in heat or Godzilla, and it sounds like a Legend Auction catalog description.
Very cool, find, Bubba.
Sounds like a Bad Year and to expensive.
"86 the shakes"!
Good night all.
The coin appears to have been lost early in its circulation life, lay buried for many decades and was then finally found. Unfortunately, it's level of deterioration is so extreme that the finder just decided to spend it. At this point it is a numismatic curiosity item but one that really has no value over its face value.
I agree with the 'metal detector find' opinion.... That coin spent a lot of time in an unfriendly environment. But still, to get it in change is amazing....yep, I would keep it.

Toning on the reverse shows vivid color. The obverse shows more complete toning coverage is pleasing subdued colors, especially around the periphery. There are no major distractions.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me....
Wild toning graces slightly rough surfaces. With godzilla monster colors rarely seen on U.S. nickel coinage, this piece would be the highlight of any Liberty five-cent set. We rarely disagree with CAC, but, as we are completely transparent, we note that CAC did not certify this piece, likely because because the assigned details grade was, in their opinion, a touch higher than the coin merits on technical grounds. No doubt the superior eye appeal led PCGS to render an opinion of "details" as opposed to "questionable authenticity." Regardless, the coin speaks for itself, and the McDonald's pedigree is highly prized among Liberty nickel collectors. We were tempted to put this piece in our personal collection, but as a rule we try to avoid competing with our highly discriminating clients.
