I don't grade coins very well, but
I would say that this coin is far from bein a mint state coin. This one had spent a lot of time in circulation.

That is a well worn nickel struck from very last stage dies. Value is 5 cents.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

While this is a case of Die Deterioration, it's supplemented by a die subsidence (sunken die) error on Jefferson's head. I've seen two 1988-P obverse dies with near-identical zones of subsidence that are more exaggerated than seen on this specimen. I don't know of any other 5c obverse dies that sink in like this. Error coin writer and researcher.

The most extreme area affected on the dies, it the devices on the outer edge of the coins. The planchets are smaller than the coin, so during the strike the metal moves to fill the collar. With even pressure in each direction the coin is formed. This done over 500K times, makes the outer edge devices look thicker than the closer in areas of the original design. Thus the thickened edges on the outer edges of the devices.  Note the outer edges of these devices and the inner edges of the same devices. That is the extreme die wear. If it were a doubled die, the devices would look wider/taller on the first strike. This happens as the die become a senior.   |
