Hitch44 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/24/2022 08:58 am Good Morning, Asking opinions if this 1959 nickel has a real error on the date, 1959. The last 9 seems to be missing the leg and just has the circle. Should I pursue this as an error coin or toss it in the pile? Thanks for viewing! Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18064 Posts	Posted 10/24/2022 09:02 am Hello and To me it looks like tooling around the '9', which suggests the coin has been deliberately defaced. Maybe someone was trying to make it look like the scarce 1950-D? My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10048 Posts	Posted 10/24/2022 1:10 pm Just someone trying to make a 59D look like a 50D (to someone who does not know what a 50 D date looks like). Tooling marks show it. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
