Owner Comments:

I just love the Cameo copper-nickel cents. These were our first nickels and were called "nicks" at the time of release. They were also very popular due, in part, to there smaller size and cleaner appearance when compared with the spectrum of large cents (pure copper) from before. In particular the large cents of the classic head variety were made on notoriously poor planchets imported or scrapped together from whatever copper was on hand.
