5 cents

The other night I began organizing the Canadian section of what my g-u left me. I was suprised to see the "luster"/shine on so many of the early QEII 5 cent pieces even though they have been circulated. Is this common for nickel coins, or is it just a case of it being these coins?

I think it's pretty common for nickel.

 

NL used to have nickel coins too : 10 cent, 25 cent, 1 gulden and 2.5 gulden. When not circulating, they stay very well in their original state/luster/colour, no toning.

 

I guess the coins your g.u. collected were taken out of circ. pretty early and then just layed still...
