seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 12:47 am I think a mint worker got a little carried away polishing this die for 1964-D nickels. Look how much shorter the A looks to the rest of the lettering in USA. It almost looks like a completely different font. Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 11:31 am Maybe. I don't know. How did it form a point in the grease? I am not very good with errors, and know even less about nickels. I picked up a $100 brick to see what all the fuss was about. Any helpful tips from you nickel searches would be greatly appreciated.

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 3:47 pm Now I have misplaced it. UGH. I gotta get better organized. A better photo setup would be nice as well. That is my next investment. I have an old AmScope, but do not have Windows XP to run it with. The laptop I was using exclusively for that crapped out on me about a year and a half ago. To make myself feel better for misplacing the coin I will go with Coop's answer and say it was just damage. No, I still don't feel better. Report this Post to the Staff
Mark Oliver New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 4:04 pm I think I should have paid attention to who started the post and how coop accidentally found his way here :). Smart asses. Will you guys comment on my new post please. Report this Post to the Staff
