DeliriousDaisy New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 7:19 pm Hello Everyone, I work at a local convenience store and picked up a modest interest in coin collecting. Silly not to examine them, I see hundreds in a day. Mostly low grade very abused coins but I do find some interesting ones. I recently found a Jefferson nickel with half the date missing. I'm not sure if this an error coin or if it's a damaged coin. There's no mint mark- 1971 with the 19 missing. Any ideas? And how, in future, do I determine if it's a damaged coin or a legitimate error? Thanks, N. Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin (nice photo BTW) was damaged by something after it left the mint in 1971 ... the indented surface adjacent to the date is the key clue that something happened Post-mint to cause this. Looking forward to anything else you have to share. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 08:50 am The mint mark on the 1971 Jefferson nickel is actually on the obverse (front) below the date as is every year after 1964. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 09:51 am Most likely PMD but a possible struck through debris. Either way no premium. This is a 1971-P. No P mintmark was put on the coin only on the D and S m.m. Report this Post to the Staff
