panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 11:01 am Found this nickel in pocket change. is this possibly a die issue or someone messing with it? whats strange is that if someone was messing with it that they would have hit the rims and the rims are clean Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 12:30 pm there is quite a bit of luster left on it. anyone know if there is market for these? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 12:36 pm Jay got it correct. It is a struck through error (grease). If it were PSD (Post Strike Damage) it would have also affected the rims. They are untouched as this happened at the time of the strike making the rim raise. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 1:13 pm That one is pretty severe and should garner a modest premium. The date is missing which might normally hurt the value a little bit but the reverse makes it easily identifiable so the lack of a date is not a concern here. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 2:32 pm I'd say it could get ~ $3 on the bay. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 2:58 pm thanks everyone, I'm not an error collector and $3 is not worth the effort to sell it on ebay. will just stash it away with the other misc coins. Report this Post to the Staff
