Bailey500 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 11:02 pm This nickel came from a 1961 P.C. Envelope. What happened? Is there value in this coin? All help appreciated. The pictures of strike through start at the 9:00 position and go clockwise. All lettering is normal. Letters picture to show clarity. Sorry so many pics. Can't quite convey amount of abnormailty without them Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2019 1:59 pm I agree, the cello is still on the coin. May have been stored near heat at one time. Probably recently removed recently. Report this Post to the Staff
