I found this a few years back and have taken to a few local coin shops but nobody can seem to tell me much. Do you have any idea? Thanks for taking a look.  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

 to the family! First off, coin is very, very worn, many nicks etc. There is a reverse imprint of RUS, between WE ad nose, this shows a coin was pressed into your coin. That wavy mark is possibly superglue, try a bath n acetone to see if it comes off. This is NOT a mint produced error, just damage done in circulation. I also see what is claaled "metal flow lines",behind the hair. This is die fatigue, wearing out, in its final stages.  Edited by Crazyb0

 No harm in giving it an acetone wash or a 12 - 24hr soak if needed followed with a fresh rinse. Then see what remains after. Also curious if reverse is normal? Thanks, Doug. Adding - Edited by Halo1st

I'm gonna have to disagree. I feel like the area under"we" is incuse. The line coming from the throat maybe,maybe part of a off center die stike/obverse clash.If you move things south and west it looks to me like it would line up. Just my nickels worth!

It looks like it's been altered by some with too much time on their hands and it has the look of another coin being pressed in. I don't think it's a Die Clash by any chance.

Always include both obverse and reverse pictures when asking questions about a coin.

I can tell you from what I see. That the areas in question are raised above the field,Which would completely eliminate the possibility of a vise job!

Its interesting someone hasn't mentioned a very late stage die cap strike. One where the cap has been pounded so thin as to have the hammer dies details to show thru. That might "explain" the apparent rotation of bust @ 20° CCW as seen in field below WE. For this to be a cap strike, the details of bust including the DESIGNER'S INITIALS (under best) would be more obscure or missing completely! Sorry, no cigar. Just a worn coin with PMD.   |

Crazyb0, at least we ruled out the causes and now we know it's just PMD. That was my first guess anyway. Great job everybody for ruling this out quick. :) Errers and Varietys.

It was definitely struck through a late-stage die cap. Nice find.

Awesome! Nice find! Like mikediamond said, it's struck through a late stage Die Cap. A keeper for sure. Disregard what I said earlier.

I don't think it's an error coin, it looks more like it's been damaged in circulation.
