    Welcome to the forums.

    It is not a nickle nor is it a 1913 Liberty Head and it appears to be an attempted replica.

    Would make a great shim for a wobbly table.

    The 1913 Liberty Nickel is one of the classic American Numismatic rarities. It has been researched and studied for decades. That research shows that only 5 were made and all are accounted for. The chances of finding a new one is infinitesimally small. As others have said, you have a fake.

    Here is a write up by Q. David Bowers from 1996 that gives some excellent background. (Please note that coin #2, The Walton specimen listed as whereabouts unknown, resurfaced a few years ago)

    Yes, Mike it is fake. I do not want you to get turned off by the obnoxious response you may have received from your post. However, there are many jaded collector's of coins on this site that have forgotten what it was to be a newbie. Take care.
