I Just came from CCCS and Mr.Chevrier told me you were a customer Coinsrfun. He was very intrigued about my 5 cents , I can't wait to receive it ..... those 2 weeks will be long...
Talk me about your 5 cents collection if you want and post pictures of your most awesome find.
thanks for the information you provided me so far.

It would be awesome if it is indeed a struck fragment... when I said "either another coin struck it.." a fragment of one never even occurred to me. Sure would explain the rim not being affected!
Definitely let us know, and good luck!

here is an idea that the cause was from a "struck/strike through"dropped device" a debris clog.the grease and metal filled in that part of the V in the die.then the debris fell out and got 'struck through' onto the coin.just an idea,but seeing as the partial 'V' is 'mushy' of not well defined it could be a clue.i'll,we'll all know soon enough hopefully,just what caused this.hopefully the mint can be "Blamed" lol .

Hi All!
I didn't realize that people were asking me questions about this thread; haven't checked it in awhile, and I apologize!
If the coin had been struck again with a struck coin there would be an impression of the rim somewhere on the coin. The struck fragment is smaller than the diameter of the nickel, so the impression can fit within the surface of the coin without impacting the rim.
The struck with struck fragment is just my opinion; I could be way off! Still would like to have heard from one of the real error experts about this one!

Hang on to it.. and keep digging. If they couldn't prove it 100%, that tells me there's still a possibility - they (and we!) just might not know what the 'proof' is yet.
Has anyone asked Mr. Diamond to take a peek in here at it yet?

Mmmmm, maybe we all should check our V nickels to see if there are otheres, or at least similar pieces....... could be?
