solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 7:56 pm Alright thanks very much! I had 50% guess it was PMD and 50% it was an error. I can toss it now. :) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 01:20 am Looks like a bag mark from another coin. The image of Joe's looks like a die crack. The speared buffalo I think was die scratches as I recall. Another 'cutsie' name to get people to by non collectable coins for a premium. IMOHO Buy the true varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 10:37 am It will be hard to miss one if I come across them again. I wasn't sure if the spear could be anywhere so that's why I posted to see what you guys have to say. @Oih, great picture, thanks! @coop, I guess mine is a bag mark. Because the roll I have opened was full on 2005 - P's Buffalo's. I'm guessing it was sealed up since 2005? Both ends of the nickels turned yellow. ( ones left open to the air) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 11:39 am Since about 2001 forward the coins are dropped into a bin, then shipped to the coin wrappers sites to be rolled. We still use the term bag mark to identify marks that before 2000 when they were shipped in bags and handled roughly that left marks from one coin to another when dropped. I think I still have a couple rolls of the Denver ones. I saved several rolls back then and sold most of them. Report this Post to the Staff
