detlow New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 08:07 am I received a large box full of coins from my mother and this 1959 nickel was wrapped up. I see that the rim is turned inward and overlaps the lettering. I have put another 1959 nickel with it for comparison. Is this a coin error and if so what kind? Thanks for helping a newbie!

detlow New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 3:32 pm It appears to be no thicker or thinner that a normal nickel and the edge looks the same. I will post better photos tonight after work. Thank you for the thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff
