Planet of the Apes Nickel

[GopherDaGold]

Got this in change yesterday. Obviously PMD but it looks intentional because the grinding is on TJ's face only and doesn't extend to the rim or any other part of the coin including the reverse.

Interesting coin!

 

[VTColonialDigger]

That is one weird nickel!

 

[against the wind]

They used to make "Hobo Nickels" out of Buffalo Nickels. They are quite collectable.

 

[Rookster]

It is very interesting. Haven't seen one of those. Maybe a movie commemorative coin? Congrats,that's nice.

instant like for the title alone

 

[GopherDaGold]

I figured the title would catch some attention

 

[ivan salis]

a altered coin -- much like the depression era --buffalo / hobo nickels of old --which hobo's made to exchange for a meal or a night's rest indoors --away from the biting insects
