Patman54 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This looks like a potential die clash what do you think. I value your opinions. It looks like it has something imprinted on the reverse. Can't quite make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It has damage imprinted on the reverse, take it back to the parking lot you found it in and with some sleuthing you should be able to match it up to the correct patch of asphalt. bsshog40 and Alex in PA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohawk Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'm with the others.....that nickel is definitely damaged, no matter where it came from. Nickels got just as damaged in the 1970s as they do now. bsshog40 and Alex in PA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me if you have a rehab there it would be worth some money. Interesting; very interesting. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda candy, coffee, crackerjacks and did not go up in price to a dime until the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Looks like the New Univender model 180 made by Stoner Mfg. Memory Lane Restorations out of Maryland sells a parts catalog for those machines. Cool finding the coins in there. James Zyskowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless... that is one cool old candy machine for sure!! Edited November 20, 2021 by GBrad James Zyskowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
