otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 02/25/2020 6:58 pm This nickel looks like it's die was clogged and something is off with the metal. Don't know if they're related. I've thought about listing it for sale and would like some help describing the errors. Notice that it has strong steps. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/25/2020 7:01 pm What is the weight? If it was under weight, it might be weaker strike. Report this Post to the Staff
otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 02/25/2020 7:31 pm Thanks Coop. I get 4.9 grams. Scale only weighs to nearest tenth. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/25/2020 7:41 pm Did you check your scale with another nickel to see if it is close. I would save for now. It could be a Struck Through Grease, but even then the weight and the rims would be full. It maybe a lot under what weight you are seeing. Seems like a soft strike.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/25/2020 8:22 pm Well Grease Filled Die would show strong rims: Report this Post to the Staff
