Of what use is random marks bashed into a coin by contact with some foreign object? Things like this make a mockery of numismatics.

Looks like soldier on it. If it is heavier, then that is probably what it is.

Teach, find you one in good condition that looks odd to you. Post it and even if it's not an error coin you can learn from it.

teachmind, superdave might be having a bad night. but it's true. if your going to post a thread about something. you have to be specific so we all know what your trying to say. I for one can't see anything on that nickel except a train wreck.  |

Please take it out to your backyard and give it a decent, respectful burial!

I do see what you are seeing, but it's just coin-cidence. Also as others have said, too battered to be worth keeping anyhow. If you really want to know, or lay your mind to rest, take another 2005 nickel and rotate it clockwise on the obverse about 80 degrees and compare the features. I suggest this with any coin you think has an error, check it in comparison with a coin from the same year and sometimes even mint.

We understand that you and your son are trying to put together a collection of error coins. But this is at least the 12th coin you have posted here, that has been beat to heck with a hammer, with various titles asking if we see anything. While we try to cater to the newbie and go out of our way to help and initiate the uninitiated, you must by now understand that after a while it gets tedious. At some point you need to buy a book on mint errors and start to understand what a mint error is and distinguish for yourself, the difference between a genuine mint error and PMD. Thread after thread after thread after thread of "do you see what I see" in these coins of various post mint damage can be very frustrating to people who love to educate (like Dave). You seem to just want to find a needle in a haystack, instead of educating yourself on genuine error coins. Also your insistence on txt speak cn be quite annoying and has no place on an educational forum, ty. I hope you take this as constructive and continue on with us. There are many ... many error collectors here that are willing to help if you just slow down a bit and start aquiring your own base of knowledge.  |

What Super Dave is meaning, and I learned this as well, if the coin is thrashed, unless it's a key date, there is very little reason to keep it.
We do not mean to belittle a beginner, but the truth is if there is too much damage or wear on a coin it becomes a) extremely hard to tell what might be going on, and b) there is no value which means it's really a fools errand.

I think enough has been stated educationally. Nothing more is being accomplished here.
