jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 4:42 pm Going through some common bulk coins and this stood out, check out the massive die break on this one! Don't do much with American coins, was this a common occurrence with V nickels? Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 4:59 pm I believe that's a very early stage of a Retained Cud, they we're pretty common because nickel is tough on the dies so they break often Report this Post to the Staff
