Once again, I find myself in need of experienced individuals who possess an immeasurable amt more of knowledge in this subject than I do. I found this 1970 S nickel in pocket change. It definitely has its share of circulation scars and environmental damage & is in rougher shape than would prefer. I acknowledge that. But curiosity grabbed me when I looked at the reverse & on the right side of the Monticello, there was what I thought looked like a number 7. Could that be a "drop 7" or is it by mere chance the dings on the coin just happened to occur in spots which made it look like the numeral 7? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Now I'm thinking Seagram's 7 Crown -

I'm sure just Pareidolia - well placed circulation hit.

Haha..don't blame me for any future hangover. #128565; I'm just a messenger. #128556; But I was leaning towards the uncanny coincidence but just wondered how others who have been around the block more times than me thought bout it. Thanks for taking the time to post. I appreciate it

Nicely placed hit. We've had instances where coin surfaces under magnification show multiple Cyrillic figures and large furry animals. And Gort's head.

After awhile you will find you are looking too hard to find things that are not there. This is typical with all of us when we are starting out. Do some study into how coins are made and what actual errors are. I the long run It will save you time when you encounter other things like this.

axenriq,
In future posts,please remove coin from holders whenever possible before taking photos of it...thanks. Makes a much better photo.

It's like finding animal shapes in the clouds. Just coincident hits.

I appreciate all the feedback. I really was heavily leaning towards this outcome but I figured it wudnt hurt to run it by some eyes who have seen a thing or two. I consciously make the decision to not spend an inordinate amt of time looking at any one coin for that reason..look long enough & you'll convince yourself something is there. It just happened that the imposter #7 was the first thing that caught my eye. I really do appreciate the posts. Thanks again.
