Question
I have come across a new coin that must have been made when they changed the coin type and metal because I have a coin that is partial copper and partial nickel half and half on the outside otherwise perfect coin. Is a mismatch coin worth anything?
Hello Henry,
It sounds to me like the nickel lamination may have run out when they made the coin blanks. It certainly has more value than a normal coin but I would have to see it to determine how much it is worth.
If you would like to ship it to my office, I will review it for you.
Regards
