Just from what I can see it looks like either a stain or some sort of coin damage.

No coppercoin its not a stain or some type of coin damage lol. Its either a 6 or some type of Cud. I guess its better to see the coin in person. I found 4 1943/2 P WWII nickels over the yrs so I do have an idea what I'm looking for. When I found this coin I was just confused because theres no record of a 1977/6 coin. When I look at the coin the pattern matches what would be a 6 underneath. Youre right though most likely its not a 6. |

it looks like a stain or a small die chip to me, like copper coins said the pictures are still to fuzzy to tell for sure

I collect overdates, but I've never found one that wasn't already documented. As Coppercoins said, it's hard to see enough detail to talk about your coin. Edited by DVCollector

Cud Wild...good pics are all that's needed. Check out the photography forum on here. SuperDave can definitely help you. DVCollector...an undiscovered variety would not be documented.Not saying this is, but it does happen.

My best bet its a die chip too. I just put it on here to get a second opinion. Unfortunately my camera isn't giving the detail justice. It clearly looks like a 6 under the 7 Its got all the marking of a number 6 thats why I was confused. Again I'm 110% positive its not a stain LOL. Clearly by looking at the coin the number seven was stamped overtop of whatever the heck it is? Again its better to see in person. Man I wish I had a better camera to give the details on the coin justice.
I am curious though can anybody see why it looks like a six underneath?

I dont have a good camera I'm tempted to send the coin to someone who does have a good camera so they can take the pic themselves.
If this was a 1977/6 then my guess it was stamped on one sheet of metal. How ever many coins stamped on one sheet is how many there would be out there. But again I'm 50% sure its not a 1977/6. And the other 50% is messing with my head everytime I look at it in a magnifying glass.

Coins are not stamped on sheets.
Blanks are punched out of rolls that resemble sheets, but after that, any varieties that show up on coins are on the dies themselves.
That said, it is very highly unlikely that you have a 77/6.

i blew up your pick on my monitor and it looks like it is too close to the first 7 to be anything but a die chip but a better pic would be a plus

I know this is a looong shot but, what if a 1976 nickel went through the coin press again and just so happened to be aligned with the 1977 die, would the 6 show up under the 7?

I took that last pic at an angle to show the error better. Thats why the die chip or whatever is close to the seven. I compared the nickel to a 1976 one and all the markings match. Thats why I'm confused. I origianally marked the coin as a die chip when I first found it.

This topic IMHO is going nowhere unless the OP can show detailed photos of the date area for our discussion. Sooo ... can you do that Cud Wild ... good clear photos of the alleged over-date? Otherwise we can speculate for 46 pages ... and get nowhere. Quote:

Read, study and commit yourself to learning ... I can assure you with my house on the line that what you propose did not happen! Bottom line ... much better photos are needed to show an over-date.

I came to a conclusion I'm 100% positive its not a 1977/6 nickel. Its some kind of weird die break. Thank you everyone for the help.
Nickelsearcher I'm thinking about making this 47 pages 46 isn't enough. Just kidding I'm done talking about this coin. On to the next......
