If I get a chance but when I tell you I have something then it's 100% fact. I don't play games.

Re: Strange nickel
My apologies aunty. I should have stuck to asking you for more info instead of making unfounded suggestions.
Pahl1 and Daniel are the experienced professionals. As they both said there are other ways for a coin to be altered after it leaves the mint (by very bored individuals).
Look up chemically altered or dryer coins as Pahl said for information on damaged coins.
But if you still want to satisfy your curiosity you can certainly take it to a jeweler for testing but just be ready for normal (non silver) results.
And I want to thank you again for sharing because that is how we all gain knowledge and understanding.

Re: Strange nickel
Here's my thin coins. I found one that is weak and thin and another that seems struck well but it still too thin. The 1910 on the far left is a normal and worn coin for comparison and usually the 1910 is about as thin as they get unless they're no dates.
Suffice it to say I don't claim to know every little thing but over my lifetime I have amassed a large collection of non-mint errors that I have only begun to catalog and add to my website. I know it is long over-due but I am a busy man.
The images are not that great but I was in a hurry.

Re: Strange nickel
The two on the right have been treated with acid so they're damaged.
