 5¢. 1919. Struck on thin planchet. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. At 48 grains, this specimen is about 29 grains too light for a Nickel. This coin might be struck on a foreign planchet, but it isn't an exact match for the specifications of any foreign coins struck in Philadelphia in 1919. It might be on a split planchet, but it lacks the one-sided roughness associated with a split planchet. Without further analysis, we can only say that an undetermined, non-standard planchet was used to strike this remarkably lustrous, silver-gray specimen. PCGS MS64.
