Britton699 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 09/18/2017 9:41 pm I found a 1968 s nickel and on the back in the word pluribus the letter I is the letter L. Has anyone heard of this or found one like it. Any info from you guys would help thanks. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kinda normal die wear events. Upon 2nd look, without a closeup, it may be a hit on lower corner of B which pushed a bit of metal to left, just PMD not a die break then.

I'm thinking that too, as if you take that little hit on the B and follow the path of it up it also seems to have distorted the U. Report this Post to the Staff

Britton699 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 09/18/2017 10:41 pm Ok sounds good. Ive been also looking at the coin and ive noticed faint numbers under the word unum and I looked it up and theres some info about the date I think maybe under the word. But you cant see in the pics but when I look as close as possible there are a few things I spotted that look like maybe some real light doubleing I think. Its hard to tell. Also the coins wieght is 4.94 is that normal for it. Is the coin worth anything just for being old and such. Thanks you guys for all the info and and the heart break.
