Forum rules
Here's a link to how to post a topic with images in our community https://coinauctionshelp.com/welcome-to ... community/

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

1st off, I'm not sure your coin is in good enough condition to be encapsulated, even if it is sintered...
Again, using an online image is very difficult for attribution, even if those images are perfect.

I do see a color variation up against the field to device areas, and also on the inside of your image of the "O" in OF.
Have you had a chance to search around the Internet for a 1984 Jefferson Nickel with the sintered planchet?

The best info I have found on sintered planchets is here:
https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/top ... _ID=288744

Read through it to get a better idea of what they are and how to ID them.

As Daniel said, and from the pics, I believe yours is just toned.
