I'm not really going to bother with a picture of this one... it looks just like a normal nickel, with no odd visual characteristics, other than surprisingly good condition for a coin that's 43 years old... it looks better than some coins I see fresh out of the mint.

But what caught my attention in the drawer was when I was handling it, was how it felt in my hand. On the obverse, the very outside rim of the coin, the border on the face pokes out a little bit, and it feels sharp. Certainly not enough to cut someone, but it does seem rather odd. Perhaps an overly-deep striking?

I've found a lot of '64s like that and a lot not. Before I got serious about coin collecting I'd save all the '64s because they seemed "funny" and were an older date. Now after going through nickels I realize how very, very many '64s there are. There were even more '64 D's made. For some odd reason though I can't seem to find any '64 D's and I live on the west coast. Oh well, I have some nickels to go through tonight. Maybe I'll find something.

Heh, it didn't seem too rare, I've found quite a few myself, but it just seemed like something of an oddity... If you want one, lemme know, I just nabbed another sharp 64 D today, and really wouldn't mind just giving it away... it's only a nickel** Deleted3 **
