coinsandcoins32 Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/23/2011 2:41 pm I recently bought this coin at a flea market and I usually don't collect error coins but I liked this one. According to the seller it is double struck and broadstruck. Once I brought it home I took it out of the case and I placed it on the table. Once it hit it made a sound that would be much too high for a regular Jefferson. I then weighed it and it weighed exactly what it was supposed to. Is it real? Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/23/2011 2:47 pm well....the quarter is dated 1970 and the nickel is dated in the 1990s....so no. It is not real. Report this Post to the Staff
coinsandcoins32 Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/23/2011 2:51 pm I was using the quarter as a size comparison. The nickel is the one I bought Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/23/2011 3:00 pm oh I see haha. In that case, not sure. I had thought you stitched an image of the "obverse" and "reverse" together. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/23/2011 3:09 pm The lettering on the indent area is incuse and backwards, so the planchet had another struck nickel laying half on top of it when it was struck. So, it's not double struck, it's struck through a struck nickel (and broadstruck). Edited by CaptainFwiffo 10/23/2011 3:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 10/23/2011 3:14 pm The nickel is wider and thinner than a regularly struck nickel, so yes, it will make a higher pitched noise. It is genuine. The 1998-1999 era had many of these types of errors come out of the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
