coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 6:02 pm Your coin is a normal circulated coin. Only struck once. The area on WE TRUST looks like coin contact that flattened the rim on that area. Same way near the date. The LIBERTY looks like it is suffering from die deterioration/wear. The composition of the nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel. Copper being soft, but the nickel is very hard. This wears the dies down faster and the extra thickness of the nickel planchets cause more wear than you would be on cents which is a softer planchet with copper and now zinc. The reverse on MONTECELLO is suffering from another problem. It was struck through a filled die, probably grease and it blocked out part of the devices in that area. This is fairly common and doesn't warrant a premium. So you have a common Nickel. But keep looking. You never know what you WILL find next. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 7:01 pm You got some nice photos of that poor nickel. I say that because I had to enlarge your pic by 400% to get a good look. But even so, I don't even see the 'doubling' that you see....hmmm, tired old eyes, probably. But that rim! I think the coin was struck a little off-center -- HOWEVER, coop didn't mention it and he's and expert...so I suppose it is PMD. Still...it is odd. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15456 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 8:41 pm The obverse exhibits a minor Mis-Aligned Die (MAD) ... other than that a normal circulated Jefferson nickel IMHO. To the OP ... please turn 'off' THE ALL CAPS ... many of us hate to read the shouting. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
