ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 490 Posts	Posted 04/06/2019 08:01 am Good morning guys. Yesterday I got some coins from a friend. As all coin enthusiast I immediately started to inspect the coins and noticed that I had a doubling effect at the top of the Monticello on the 1996 P Nickle. I compared it with another similar coin and saw a vast difference so I posted it here for suggestions. Coin Frog, I believed asked about the mint mark as to whether it was a D or P. I tripled check and then posted the both coins side by side to prove the mint marks were both Ps. Another here suggested that it could be MD. This morning, based on Coin Frog's question I decided to inspect the reverse of most of the nickles I had and noticed that the reverse of the 1987 D coin matched the 1996 P. What are your thoughts as here are the two coins. Just added a second close up of the 1987 D Nickle. Kinda blurred but more upright than the original posted.

ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 490 Posts	Posted 04/06/2019 10:59 am Just to be clear. Are you saying that the reverse of the both nickles have MD. The 1987 D and the 1996 P ? Report this Post to the Staff

ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 490 Posts	Posted 04/06/2019 2:20 pm OK. Have there been any slight differences in the Denver Mint produce nickles vs the Philadelphia Mint ones with respect to the Monticello ? Also were there any slight changes over the years ? http://www.varietyvista.com/04b%20J...rXTqmTP4s1eU So it is possible to make a mistake and put the wrong reverse on a nickle and it would hardly be noticed ? Correct ? And if discovered then those "Mule Nickles" are now rear in spite of how minimal the differences on the Monticello is ? Correct ?

briarmentrout Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 04/06/2019 6:40 pm You will see slight differences in design between P/D—caused by Die Deterioration and circulation wear. Technically both '87 and '96 nickels have the same design but different working hubs. As does deteriorate and show wear they replace them with a new working hub. Again, it is not possible for a '87 reverse working hub to appear on a ''96, nor does it really make sense. An example of a mule would be a penny on a nickel planchet; ie the die of one coin on the wrong planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

No that would be a wrong planchet error (and one that would require assistance from a mint worker to create, a fabricated "error".) A mule is when a coin is struck from two dies that were not intended to be used together. For example the 2008 silver eagle with the rev of 2007 is a mule. The 1992 P & D Close AM, 98 S and 99 S Close AM, and 1998, 99, and 2000 Wide AM cents are all mules Report this Post to the Staff
