Hey all,

I figured most of you would find this very intresting. :o I was cleaning my clad in the rock tumbler and I did the nickles and found today a very corroded nickle. :icon_scratch: I picked it up and read a date "1942" and I said what !! ??? This should be 35% Silver but it is not. :icon_scratch: It is a prewar/war nickle, that was made before the switch to silver. :o It is my first one that I have found or own that is not silver. Not worth much only 30 cents or so but... I think its cooler than anything, will keep this one... :wink: ;D :D

Here are some pictures, enjoy !! :wink:

Keep @ it and HH!! ;D :D

Looks like it's been soaking in an iron bath :D That's odd, though :icon_scratch:
 
On Oct. 8th 1942 is when they switched to the 35% silver content!
