Is this just a typical nickel with Machine Doubling or something else?
I'm sure this is post mint damage, but the I in liberty looks split and elongated, but it doesn't really show any cause. And was the L rubbed off by man, or was it caused by a die break?
Hi Bre, looks like Machine Doubling on the nickel. The cent appears to have post mint damage on the in the I in liberty and the missing letter is more than likely from a strike through. Also called a Grease Filled Die. The devise negative on the die had grease in it and does not allow for the coin to receive the image. My thoughts, anyway. Jim
After looking at it one more time, that is more likely a die chip on the "I".
