Well, here is another one that I have found on a 2001 Nickel. Wonder if they should actually be posted as an error.  Edited by folcan99

I think the Arnprior dollars were the last dies re-engraved by hand, and then reused for production. An arguement could be made that the 1977 nickel dollars were also re-engraved, but if so, that information was not put into mint reports. That fact that you find this feature, on the obverse of two different years, means that they used the same obverse die for both years. Is the feature raised or sunk?
