Soft dies are poorly made counterfeit dies made to mock just such an error coin as yours.

Gt10865 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 10/17/2020 7:56 pm I posted this here before, but with photos taken on my iPhone. Luckily, I have access to a dental microscope and I took some better photos. The coin is in pretty rough shape, but I think you guys can have a nice time helping me find the year and if it is genuine. It was pulled from my great grandfathers collection and my grandmother gave the collection to me. He died in 1991, so the coin has likely been in the family for at least 40 years. It suffered a lot of pvc damage, because it was in a fake leather pouch for over 30 years. My local coin dealer thinks it's real, and he thinks I should get it graded. Thanks!

Gt10865 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 10/17/2020 8:18 pm Yes I was going to but I don't have an account (I'm 16) and I was gonna do it through my coin dealer but he hasn't sent off his coins yet. He's gonna call me when I need to bring it to him. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 10/17/2020 8:27 pm there is way too many things going on with this coin,, even if , and I say if it was a nickel struck on a cent, there is multiple strikes, and different angles, I think this may be a soft die strike..experiment. based on the photos.. a very long shot would be a trial test strike, where the mint through a coin in there and hit it a couple of times.. let us know how you make out..
