Hi guys, need your expertise in t
his one. I have this 1996 Denver Nickel that is very different from other nickels. The obverse is normal, but the reverse has a frosted matte finish. I am aware of the uncirculated 1994 P special edition frosted matte, but nothing about the one I have. Take a look.

Yes, a fairly abused, 21 year old nickel.... looks as if it may have lay in a parking lot for a while... Cheers, RickO

Damage of some sort, my guess is it sat in water or something and it's simply some sort of film on the top of the reverse.
Now if it was circulation wear,wouldnt the obverse have the same wear?
Same question goes with if laying on water or some sort of film, how can the reef/rim have a smooth matte finish.
Circulation wear is NOT equal between sides, especially when caught in a drier, laying on something, abrading one side, etc. Even "nice" coins can have significant differences in grade between sides.
What you are seeing is just common wear, coin is worth 5 cents.
Have to agree with the others... I do not see anything special with the coin. Certainly a difference on the reverse, but looks like what can be found in circulation due to environmental effects.
