Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73579 Posts	Posted 01/15/2026 6:01 pm Just sharing this 1940 S Jefferson nickel that I have. Unfortunately, it has Coin Wrapping Machine Damage on the obverse and reverse. It seems to be old damage, as it's smoothed over from circulation. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24878 Posts	Posted 01/15/2026 7:05 pm I don't think that's Wrapping Machine Damage. Notice how there are circular marks towards the center of the reverse. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 01/15/2026 8:24 pm very nice E&V and I agree with Hondo - there are far too many circular marks on both sides Collecting since 1972.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73579 Posts	Posted 01/16/2026 02:16 am Thank you, Marv65. This one has got some character to it. It's survived WW2 and beyond. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
