Looks like a greaser to me. What does anyone else think?
Maybe some grease but also some of the "orange peel" effect common in the early 80s nickels due to absurdly overused dies. I never kept any years ago but j have started to save a few as curiosities when I find an extreme example such as yours.
Finding Canadian coins in rolls is like losing that much in face value since they are not of any value in the US. When I get Canadian coins in change (or more often in Coinstar machine reject slots) they go into a box that I attempt to sell to a Canadian dealer that attends local shows for half face value in US. I never attempt to spend them in the US or put them back into rolls. If I spot a store giving me Canadian in change I always give it back to them and ask for proper US change.
Somebody slipped me a Canadian quarter the other day.
Who do I talk to about that ?
Canadian coins turn up frequently in this area... and stores accept them as U.S. coins in transactions...So I just reuse them in commerce. Cheers, RickO

They are still out there
Coin_nut ..... the way I used to do this was to buy a box of new all the same date MM coins.
If you find a cool and photographic (repeatable) error, then You will have many of the same errors on all the rolls. And you only need a few good (stock photos) of said error so you don't have to photo each coin, which is a huge time saver.
I used to make good money doing this, but it is a lot of work.
Hey, Coin_nut1977, I have several 4x4x12 inch boxes of nickels sitting on a shelf in the garage. The lovely Mrs. Hydrant is puzzled by it. She keeps asking me why those boxes aren't in the safe with the rest of my "junk." I got tired of the whole search thing. I'm so happy that you've taken up where I left off. The only advise that I can offer you is to spend the rejects. Don't save them. Those boxes are heavy and a waste of space. GOOD LUCK! And don't give up!
I have a bag of nickels to go through in the next couple of days. No finds in the rolls. Also have four bags of cents.
You found some fun stuff!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I agree.
Quality control at Philadelphia in the early-mid 80s was not a priority.
I have seen 1982 and 83-P nickels that were so horribly made when unc. they looks like F coins with luster.
Nice!
Always nice when you find silver in a pile of nickel!

We, myself and my little Meowmismatist, searched a $200 bag this morning and found:
Dateless buffer
3 1939
1942-D
3 1945-P Silvers
A plastic play cent
10 Canadian 12 sided cents.
I'm thinking you don't live anywhere near the Canadian border...
Smitten with DBLCs.
I live a half hour drive from Canada. Canadian coins are seldom seen in circulation here and Canadian paper money is never seen nor is there anywhere to exchange it locally.
I spent some time in the Northwest US and then, at least, it was very common to receive Canadian coins in change. No one was fussed by it. Perhaps times have changed. Sorry if I came across as snarky.

Nice find!
I drop them into those little "Penny" trays at stores.
