I recently got 2 rolls of Nickels (both were in loomis wrapping) all of them were 2016 P and appeared to be uncirculated, I found what in my little knowledge to be some true mint errors, and a couple that I am not sure if they are minting errors or bag marks. Since I am new to this my knowledge of mint errors and PMD is limited to the obvious. I have not been able to find any known errors for this coin any links would be great and I am glad to show pics for opinions if anyone wants to see. (my favorite one I have nick named frankenstein, really hoping its not PMD and something that is considered cool) |

these ones have variances with the O in Monticello (there are actually 5 totally with either an incomplete O or and incomplete and what seems like a slanted O. also appears to be some variation to AMERICA  |

 First coin looks like a stain where flames would be on an older Jefferson nickel. Other two are chips within the O. The chips are pretty common on the modern Jeffersons. Good luck on the hunt!! |

thanks guys, sorry for the delay last one is frankenstein I'm sure its probably nothing major on the obverse but it looks so awesome in person. actually looks like he has fully stitches over his mouth, but I can't photograph it to do it justice. (fyi, there is actually 2 others each one with slight less cutting than this so I don't know if that means anything) the reverse actually has some of the same issues as the others.   |

Thank you guys so much. I'm going to hold on to them because I think there interesting, not really for value. I don't know how common in a new roll but I was surprised to not find one without scratches chips or stains.

The scratches on the mouth are just damage from the coins hitting each other.
I couldn't see the reverse of that last coin very well, even after I enlarged it.
I feel that Jefferson's portrait gets scratched up so often that finding one in circulation that hasn't been scratched is more uncommon.

The image need to be closer on Monticello to see what is going on there. It might have received some damage or something else?
