    Pretty coin. What’s going on with the “FIVE”? The point opposite on the reverse is very well struck.  

    Thank you,
    It appears to be a strike through grease. At least that’s the way I see it.  
    Thanks again,

    Just a couple of interesting facts about the United States nickel 5 cent pieces.

    The 1938 buffalo nickel was the last year an American Indian was portrayed on an American circulated coin.  The other is, the 5 cent piece is the only American coin still struck today with the same alloy mix as it started with.  Lots has changed, but the alloy stays the same.

    Enjoy your nickels, I know I do.  Great thread.

    These are twins.  I personally plucked them out of the same coin album years ago.  In case you’re wondering it’s a 27-S and an 18-P.  I find it amazing they have toned up so similar.  
      This is a great thread and I hope we can keep it going.  There has to be more nickel lovers out there. Let see them nickels🤩
