Product Details

2005 American Bison Nickel Set Includes: The Two (Silver-Colored) Nickels: These feature the standard, unaltered cupronickel composition (75% copper, 25% nickel) as minted by the U.S. Mint. The Two (Gold-Colored) Nickels: These are genuine United States nickels that have been altered after leaving the mint with a microscopically thin plating of real 24-karat gold (typically under 1% of the total coin weight). Beneath the gold plating, the core remains the standard 75% copper and 25% nickel base alloy.
