Hello, I recently found this coin in a drawer not metal detenting. It is a 2007 Jefferson Nickel, with what appears to be a copper planchette (coin blank) attached to it.
I ran it under the Equinox 600 and it chimed in at 12-13 vdi, which is Jefferson Nickel territory on the Minelab. I saw a similar one on a coin forum with no other additional info about it.
It is also lighter in weight than a similar Jefferson Nickel
Is this common? Is it considered an "error coin"? Is it worth more than $.06?? Thanks for any reply😅😅

I think it is a squirting nickel joke/novelty. I HAVE AN OLD ONE THAT IS A BUFFALO NIC.
Dunk it underwater & press down on the brass thing to to fill it with water then press down on the brass thing to see if water squirts out of a hole somewhere on the coin
