Want this question answered?
what does a 1857 nickel look like
old?
The first nickels were minted in 1866.
The answer to that depends on your taste, and also the color of the brushed nickel. Each individual has their own way of seeing the world, and some people will like the two together, or say that they look similar, although to me, brushed nickel often looks less shiny. But I like that. :) To help you decide if you like the combination of brushed nickel and stainless steel, you could: --Buy the product and see if you like the look at home, but ask about the store's return policies first. --You could also photograph the object in question and take that home to compare with what you have.
nickel
It was known as the "V" Nickel (or Liberty Head Nickel) the obverse featured a personification of Liberty, the reverse had a wreath with a large "V" in it (the Roman numeral for 5)
It isn't silver. Nickel "silver" refers to an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc to make it look like silver but it really contains no silver at all.
It depends on what color the beads are. Many shiny beads are nickel, because nickel gives a silver-like look but is much cheaper.
Yes. 5 cents. The obverse of the nickel was redesigned in 2005. They all look like that.
It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge.
IT wouldn't look like anything. The first nickels weren't minted until 1866 and the first buffalo nickels came out in 1913.
