Roman M New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 05:46 am I found this coin in a roll and just noticed that it has a cut on the top of Jeffersons head, could this have been a minting error or just damage that it could have received some time in the last 78 years? I see the cut on the head, then no damage, then a small nick in the rim. Edited by Roman M 01/02/2017 05:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

Roman M New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 05:59 am It actually does look like it could have been a screwdriver. Does it have any value now even with the damage? Other than its face value? Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 07:35 am i usually keep any nickels (pre 1950) they do not have much (if any premium value - unless in quite high grade). yours is damaged, and I probably wouldn't keep it in that condition. probably no added value - to your coin (in my opinion).
