Lets see how many crazy responses I can get to this idea.. the small marks appears to be coin on coin damage.. In the larger line leading up to the eye in the last image appears to have a split in it looking similar to split serifs of a doubled die.. I am completely novice so with that being said.. is it possible to have this mark be doubled from the original die? I know intentional design elements can be doubled .. what about unintentional ones?

But there is no design line there to double.

Yeah I'm still trying to wrap my head around how.. but do you see what I mean in that last photo? looks more like two lines mushed together in the middle opposed to one.. the line splits in to two line at both ends

There's a lot of opinions here. I think it's taken a glancing hit from left to right. Not deep at all, but displaced quite a bit of metal.
Edit: The object that hit it was possibly curved, and wide, (almost as long as the damage).

I don't think the coin took a hit. Because the line is so long and follows the curve of the cheek( you can see this on the last 2 pictures on pg 1. notice the shadowing). To me if a strike occurred an area on the side the strike came from would be flat to allow for the length of the anomaly.Or the object that made the strike would have to have the same curve as the cheek.My personal opinion is that the die received a scratch and then was transferred to the coin.Any thoughts?

This is cool. I'll have to reread this whole post again. Just off hand though this one looks longer (going from memory only).
Attributed: Well I think you would need Mike Diamond, John James Wiles, Ken Potter, coop and John Wexler all to view it, discuss it and decide.
Good for you - no matter what it is.

From what I understand Wexler doesn't do nickels. Is that correct? Also how do I start the process? Thanks!

I certainly don't know about the process, but this thread will help you if you need it down the road for proving it was your discovery and also for those people in the know to determine what exactly it is. I know nothing about these things.

Well I really have no idea: I guess first start off by sending a PM to Mike & Ken since I know they are members here and ask them to look at your post and ask them if they would be interested in seeing them "In Hand" on your behalf for attribution. Then James Wiles (Variety Vista) I know there is info on his website on contacting him and just do the same thing. Your are correct about John Wexler and Nickels - but in general he may have an interest in this - after all it is a coin with a die issue" Brian Ribar I think is the Nickel Variety guy. https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/attributionshttp://www.varietyvista.com/Attribu...Services.htm |

After the second coin was found, I'd way it's most likely a long die gouge or Feeder Finger Damage. Very cool coin! |
