Quote:Beginnings of a Cud error? It kinda reminds me of a small Cud on the extreme right of it when it was minted but from circulation has worn down. I would have loved to find this with a Cud that big - heck, seeing I've never found a Cud CRH I probably would've had a heart attack!  |

I'm thinking that it is a lamination

That's what's called a collar clash, isn't it? Maybe not, think that's only hammer die...   |

I'm not sure what causes this,But I have a bunch of nickels like this. Most not as dramatic as this coin. So I'm very interested in what this is as well.

Here's what I was checking, fairly sure is a die collar clash. What happened is the hammer die was coming down, no planchet in place so collar extended up and over anvil die at the affected area. Downward force hit the collar, making impression in reverse(anvil) die. Make sense? Although, would think this scenario would totally trash the machine!  Edited by Crazyb0

Mark, wish I could draw it...think lower die minus the collar AROUND it but ABOVE die, force down EDGE of collar comes in contact from 10-12 o'clock only. This would leave an impression on the die face... News flash! Another more reasonable is feeder finger error, bet this is it. Caused by feeder finger in way instead of collar problem. Planchet wasn't in place when ha!mmer die hit errant feeder. Check feeder finger errors at http://www.error-ref.com. to ESS the mangeled examples. |

I'm also interested in the final determination here. I've seen several nickels with this type of damage, some more pronounced than others.

Looks like a rolled over Rim Fin to me. John1  |

It's post-strike damage. Metal has been relocated from the rim/edge to the perimeter of the field (and outer parts of the letters) in the form of a thin apron. Happens with " Dryer Coins" and other forms of damage. Similar damage can occur to blanks and planchets (i.e., pre-strike), but that's not the case here. Error coin writer and researcher.
