I recently found a 1946 Jefferson nickel which I believe is a Mint Error. There appears to be an "S" Mint Mark on the right side of the Monticello building, see images below. Obverse: Reverse: Reverse - Closeup: I could use some help on whether or not this is a mint error? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 10:47 pm I agree with Fuzzy, it doesn't look like the right shape to be a mint mark, so I'd say PMD, I could be wrong though Edited by Adam_E 08/15/2014 10:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ladydiz New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 11:39 pm Thanks all for your help. If it is a PMD, it really is bizarre how close it looks to a "S" mint mark. Still kind of cool to look at. Oh and thanks for all the warm welcomes! Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 09:52 am I agree it is damage. There are 2 hits on the coin next to each other pushing up metal. The pushed up metal imitates the S. Report this Post to the Staff
