Yeah that's a good one!! The 80s were wonderful for DDD on nickels. I see some of the strangest things on them.

I agree, Seeker_101. The 1980's nickels had some crazy Die Deterioration.

Wow, they walked those puppies around the block a few too many times!

It is, Marv65. The U.S. Mint really pushed the dies to its limits.

Fantastic example. I would keep it in a 2x2 as a novelty.

I agree.
I keep some "worthless" coins, just because the DDD is so extreme, that it actually becomes interesting looking.
