I got it from my grandmother's collection when she passed and am curious to know if it is an error or something else. I tried researching different errors but couldn't find any with the front and back strikes on one side. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Frank Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 6:56 pm It's a coin that squeezed against another coin in a vise. Not a mint error. You might be able to read the date (in reverse) of the other nickel. It looks like 1974 to me. Edited by Buddy 03/16/2017 6:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
