monkeyman67 Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 08:44 am I found this nickel this morning. I can see two faces, one in the reverse. I do not know what this kind of error is or it's value. I would appreciate some help. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

paparet Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 1:01 pm Very interesting coin. I have never seen anything like it. I agree it looks to be double struck and a reverse image. Is it possible that one stike was from a previous struck nickel that stayed stuck to the reverse die for one striking and then the obverse was struck again with the normal obverse die?

monkeyman67 Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 2:57 pm It may be a little glue there. The words IN GOD are revesed and struck into the coin. Any idea of a value? I will hit it with the acetone and see. Report this Post to the Staff
monkeyman67 Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 3:15 pm Ok mystery solved. It was a really hard enamal that I didn't pick up. I looked at it closely with a 20x loop and then hit it with the acetone. I peeled it off and found a normal nickel. Darn. So close but yet so far. Sorry guys I guess I got a little too excited. Next time. Report this Post to the Staff
