donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 782 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 11:47 am It's hard to say without better close up images, but I suspect they are circulation dings, and/or purposeful PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 11:49 am My first thought was mule die clash? Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 2:16 pm I would think mule die clash would be WAY down the list of possibilities! Most likely scenario would be die chips and or deterioration. Better closeups will help. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99108 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 7:00 pm looks like rim damage - better images would be nice (without the red markers on it.) Collecting since 1972.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21672 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 7:20 pm If you are referring to between the rim and letters, that is just Die Deterioration caused by a worn die. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2975 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 7:48 pm Yeah, with above... Also a genuine mule coin is where one die (either the obverse or reverse dies) gets switched with another coins die and then mints coins after the switch. A notorious example of this mule is the Sacagawea dollar reverse switched with a State Quarter obverse... On the reverse of your 1983-P nickel, those look like die chips and die wear. A die clash is where the dies ram together and transfer elements of both sides to the opposite side and can range from minor clashing to insane clashing. Report this Post to the Staff
