Guessing it is from the die breaking down? Not seeing any crazy varieties on 1940's so curious what your thoughts are on this. Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 04/27/2022 11:12 pm haha, -makecents- and makesNoCents in one thread. I can't make any sense of that.. However, that nickel is very worn down from circulation and struck by a very tired die. as stated above. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 2:31 pm Progressive Indirect Die Transfer. (PIDT) Looks like a good example. It happens a lot on different denominations: Not a premium for the coin. Just extreme die wear on the older dies. Report this Post to the Staff
