I have 5 2001 D Jefferson nickels, all almost identical that I got in a roll I opened at work back in 2002. The date and some wording looked odd so I set them aside. I seem to recall the entire roll being like this but at the time wasn't able to get them all. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79345 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 12:23 pm This is a extreme case of a VLDS (Very Late Die State) coin. There is ton of die flow lines as the metal was going outwards from all of the strikes. The die was very worn when it struck your coin. Die wear is very common on Nickels because of the coins composition, making the die wear out faster. It's a keeper in my opinion. Excellent example of a very worn die at its end of it's useful life.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 12:48 pm There also appears to be an issue with a Struck Through Grease and grit that altered the date devices and field area. Note the Liberty devices size, then compare them with the dates devices sizes. Does not add a premium to this coin, but knowing the causes...... Priceless. Report this Post to the Staff
