Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 12:23 am I just checked through my cherrypickers book 4th edition volume one and there is no mention of such error. Only mentioned errors of the 64 nickel is a repunched D on the Denver nickel and a repunched S on the proof. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 2:51 pm It sounds like a case of a die chip or gouge in the middle of the "B" giving it the appearance of a "D". I just cannot envision any scenario in which a letter on the motto could be switched Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 3:48 pm OOOh. If you have that nickel that is a rare error. One of the most sought after. Please post some pics. I believe Metalman knows much about that nickel error. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 4:40 pm Ok, I found some info about it from Scott Travers- http://www.pocketchangelottery.com/article99.htm The 1964 Jefferson nickel with the motto E PLURIDUS UNUM. Most people are familiar with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on U.S. coins, even though many don't know what it means (it's a Latin phrase meaning "Out of many, one," and signifies that out of my states, one nation has been forged in this country). But often, familiarity breeds inattentiveness. That's why many collectors didn't notice at first when 1964-D Jefferson nickels appeared with PLURIBUS misspelled as PLURIDUS. Heavy polishing of one or more dies had caused the center of the letter "B" to become obliterated, leading to this interesting error. This isn't a high-priced rarity, but it does bring a modest premium. And it underscores the importance of paying close attention to the coins you find in change: Many of the pieces that command premium value will do so because of just this kind of detail. So you'll need a sharp pair of eyes--and a magnifying glass would be helpful, too. An inexpensive glass with 5-power magnification would be fine. Report this Post to the Staff
