Anomaly In 2015 P Nickel

These look like bag marks, they are not in the exact same place.

it's the sharp edge sticking out of the top doorway not the marks on the doorway. It does look like an icicle. I also have a lot of 2015 P nickels that jumble up the JNF initials on the obverse side.

I agree MS. Could be a minor DDR.

I just found another and it almost looks like a second one next to it but smaller. I've noticed that they all have something in common. In this photo they have a die chip on the "S" in STATES. Find one and you find the other. I'm pulling out more of them mixed with die cracks and different die chips.

These coins have some problems.

I would think it to be a DDR but honestly the only final decision to get on something like that is to send it off

Attribution Guidelines


If you have suspected doubled dies that you would like to have attributed, the following guidelines must be followed. Suspected RPM, OMM, DMM, and IMM varieties may be submitted for attribution ONLY for the series that are marked as "complete" on this website and/or for the dates within a series that are marked as "complete."


1. The fee for attributions depends on whether one side of the coin needs to be attributed, or both sides need to be attributed. If only one side needs to be attributed, then the fee is $4 per coin. If it will be necessary to attribute both sides of the coin, then the fee is $5 per coin. Return postage and insurance is extra and must be included with any coins that are sent. The rule of thumb for return postage is that whatever it costs you for postage and insurance to send the coins to me, that's the amount that should be included for postage and insurance to return the coins to you. Do NOT include any padded mailers or other mailing envelopes in your package. All packaging supplies for the return of the coins are provided as part of the attribution service.


2. You may send up to, but no more than 5 coins per shipment. If packages are sent with more than 5 coins, it will greatly delay their return. Five coins will be processed and the package will then placed at the end of the mail line until it comes up again. Once it reaches the front of the processing line again, the next five coins will be processed. This process will be repeated until all of the coins in the package are processed.


3. Do NOT send any additional shipments until the previous shipment has been returned. This will again result in significant delays as additional packages won't be put into the processing line until the first package has been processed and returned.


4. NEVER send coins by Certified Mail. If they are lost or stolen in the mail you will NOT be able to recover any of their value. Certified Mail does NOT carry any insurance. Coins with an estimated value of less than $500 should be sent by First Class Mail in a padded mailer with insurance if you can verify the value. If the coins have an established value of $500 or more, they should be sent by Registered Mail.


5. If you would like to receive a notice that the coins arrived here safely, you can take advantage of the delivery confirmation services available through the Post Office, and also the return receipt services available from the Post Office.


6. Make sure that you package your coins very carefully. If they can move about in the package, they might be able to tear out of the package and become lost. I recommend shipping in a padded mailer available from the post office, Wal-mart, Staples, etc.


7. Please send your coins in plastic or vinyl flips from which they can easily be removed. Do not send the coins in 2x2's that have been stapled.


8. We do NOT attribute foreign coin varieties - only varieties on U.S. coinage.


9. Once the coins arrive they will be processed as quickly as possible. Due to large demands on the attributers, it may take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks before the coins are processed and returned. It is usually less than that but we do ask your patience once they are sent.

Interesting on the die chip. The DDRs on these nickels are so faint relative to other designs/denominations. I'm still feeling it's DDR, but Coop's heavy opinion is worthy of note. It may come down to attribution, where a few heavy weights can decide amongst them. Or if we're lucky, they will chime in here.

Could be a clash of part of the nostril
