Question
I have found a nickel that looks fine on the front but when you turn it over the other side the bulding looks o.k. but the rest of the coin looks like it was smashed and smeared. just wonderig what was up with it and if it is worth anything.  Thanks.

Answer
That could have been caused by many thinks.  The key is if it came from the mint like that.
You need to have the coin physically inspected, something I can't do over the computer.
