The collection includes a 1912 Liberty Head nickel, an Indian Head nickel with a worn and illegible date, a 1964 Jefferson nickel, and a 1943 wartime silver-composition Jefferson nickel.

The Liberty Head and Indian Head nickels show significant surface smoothing, with the date on the Indian Head nickel being illegible.
