Is the cause of this Jefferson's appearance a weak strike or something else? A number of the letters are missing or faint.  |

I don't know though someone will come along and let you know.
In my creative mind I see an image of a buffalo on the right of the coin. Pretty cool.

Could you take a closer shot of the letters ...and the buffalo.  |

Here are some hopefully better pics...the macro on my camera isn't good enough to focus well on one part of the coin. Not really sure I see the buffalo though :). Eitherway:   |

This coin is a die fill error. Grease gets clogged up in the dies and blocks out some of the design.
A very nice example, but fairly common.

I, too, see a bison in profile, facing to the right (away from Jefferson)immediately above the date and Tom's shoulder and to his right. You can see the front 3/4+ of the animal, but not its tail or back leg.
Could just be an artifact of the lighting. I don't know this series well...or much about die clashes. Could a die clash give that much of an image?

Couldn't be a die clash of a Buffalo, that would be 2005.

cool, so it is an authentic error coin. Haha... I don't really find many since I don't have a loupe or anything to look for double dies and stuff. I can kinda see the bison..I'm pretty sure its just an artifact of the lighting/coincidence. Kinda cool though, hehe.

oh yes, you found a true mint error coin, very cool indeed. Keep it up.
The Best source is new rolls from the bank at FACE value. No cost to you except time.

I see the bison in the first image. Pretty neat. I, too, wonder if it's the lighting.

Errorcoins--indeed. that's where I picked up this specimen...in a freshly minted roll of 2006 Ps. Of course, its already 2007 but I guess the banks in this area are kinda slow...
