It is a picture of Monticello. Is this a common error for that nickel? We've certainly never seen anything like it before. We would appreciate your opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

judew New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/03/2005 07:07 am Thanks for the responses! Of course, my husband was hoping that it was a "real" rare coin...LOL It looks like an actual coing and it was found in a roll of nickels he got from the bank. He likes to get the rolls and look through them for the years he needs for his collections. Report this Post to the Staff

Magician coins will not "ring", but give a dead thud. If you have a good loupe, check around the rim for the small cut. The process in making them is quite interesting. They sell for around $3 at all the major shows. Report this Post to the Staff
