The profile of Jefferson's face looks all wrong to me. Especially the chin and nose. Plus the throat is wrong.
Interesting, but it seem hardly worth it to counterfeit a nickel these days.

That looks horrible. He has a fat nose.

Very strange coin to counterfeit.

I contacted the seller earlier today, letting him know that it's not an error. By his response, I believe he genuinely thought it was an error coin.

Yes it is but how often do you think Mr. Average Joe looks at the nickels he gets in change.
I am just shocked that they even exist.

Of course people are bidding - I am one of them. I want to know how it was made. If I don't win I am going to start hunting in boxes of nickels until I find one like I did with the Hennings.

This is possibly the strangest counterfeit I've ever seen. Almost looks like they tried to recreate a nickel with a hand-carved die...
Makes me wonder if this was perhaps an art project or a counterfeiter testing out his skills on small game before tackling Morgans or 09-S VDBs?
