Checked the nickels at my wife's work since I was a little early picking her up and found this beauty ... has to be a mint error, right? Weighs 4.3g

A round King George VI so between '22 and '42.

This coins reminds me of something someone with 7 posts would claim to be a mint error held in the family for 40 years, denie proof otherwise, tell us they are going to a TPG and than rage quit the forums.
