I3lackMage New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 6:36 pm Hey, everybody! So, I have another coin that I felt like I should share and get some feedback as to if I have anything special. This is a 1938 S Nickel that looks like it has a number of different errors. On the obverse, most notably is what looks likes a Cud error over the 3 in the date, and, what looks like really visible doubling with each of the other numbers. Less obvious is seen after really zooming in onto Jefferson's face - near his mouth there seems to be a whole other mouth in what looks like more doubling. Or maybe I'm seeing things. Now, the real treat is on the reverse. Almost immediately we see a lamination error on the upper right of the coin. (It is a lamination error, right?) This is joined by what looks like an RPM or doubling with the S mintmark But, please tell me what you all think. Report this Post to the Staff

The date and Monticello both look gouged, the mintmark seems battered, and there is a scratch on Jefferson's cheek.

There are a few errors that are out there, but more are just coin damage and your coin is an example of that. Report this Post to the Staff
