pkzac New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/05/2017 3:38 pm Not sure if I described that properly :] Strange markings on this Nickle. I was wondering what you guys think. Can errors happen like this in the minting process? Couldn't find any similar errors on google. I'd appreciate any info Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/05/2017 4:16 pm @pkzac, that is an interesting punch that someone has applied to your coin after it left the mint. It is only worth five cents, but looks unusual enough that I'd probably save it rather than spend it.
