Lead stamped with a v nickel

Also found this today, Took me a while to figure it out. It's a v nickel stamped in lead.
Is there any reason one would do this?

Very strange, never heard of that before.

Must be backwards. I can't tell from pic tho. Obvi can't be a counterfeits cuz I'm sure someone would know right away with backward letters and date. Idk? Playing around with the lead and just used a coin to create a pattern in it???

The fake gold coins use lead and copper but to pass a v nickel off as gold?

Very interesting, never seen one of those before. How about a slug for a pay phone :dontknow:

Can you make out the date? Is the date a Key Date?

[NAGOLOCOP]

No can't make out the date.

If there is an indentation you can try using a piece of paper and pencil lead sideways to bring out what doesn't get colored. I can see where date should be but I can't make it out.
