SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 11:11 pm Just the smallest Cud ever. Lol. Kind of looks like it took a git though too. But yeah, die chip/smallest Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
ammobill10 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 11:16 pm Thanks! It is raised so I don't think is a hit or PMD. Just a tiny Cud. Report this Post to the Staff

Birk88 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 12:13 am When I first started collecting in the early 60's. We would save these. We called them "Bar Nickels" because of the die break make it look like a small bar above the numbers in the date and even above the letters in "LIBERTY". The most "Bars" I ever found on a single coin was five. Strange but never found any with this "Bar" above the letters "IN GOD WE TRUST". No real value, maybe in BU condition it would be worth mentioning, but interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

You are absolutely correct on this one. I've found several bar nickels so far this year, and I've only recently starting saving them, after realizing that, hey, maybe I should make a roll of them and sell them on ebay Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 12:28 am I wouldn't exactly say face value. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-10-1...em19fe08dcf9 Say I make a roll of them, which'll take me about a decade at the rate I'm going.... That's maybe $20 if I'm lucky. $25 at best. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 11:39 am To me it looks like the rim was damaged and has moved in that area. Note how the area next to it is missing. So check to see if it is moved rim in that area? Edited by coop 04/14/2015 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 1:02 pm Well whatever you want to call it; die chip or small Cud. I saved them by the rolls in the 60's. hoping they would be worth something one day. they are NOT damaged rims. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 1:21 pm The angle of the shot makes it hard to be conclusive for me. In the general area of a bar but looks like damage to me. Report this Post to the Staff

The Bar Nickels are analogous to the BIE Wheaties from the same time period. Many collected them in the 50s and 60s and they even traded for a premium but now it is just seen as a sign of a brittle die with repetitive chipping. Report this Post to the Staff
