I have a 1964 Jefferson nickel with what looks like some kind of major error on the back of it or some kind of damage it looks like alot of deep gouged circles... and on the front it looks like the house is on the face ...thats the best way I know to explain it. I would love to have someones opinion on it so I know wht exactly it is that I am looking at. Any wisdom will be appreciated...thank you |

Serious post-mint damage, no doubt deliberate.

Ok thanks for posting these pics and welcome to CCF. I agree that that is just damage--not a mint error.

When I was a kid, we could hammer pennies and nickels together which creates similar image as what you show in your photo.

Things to ID for a damaged coin:
1. The marks are incuse on the coin.
2. If there were letters on the coin, they would be mirrored.
3. Often the coin is bent. When placing on a flat surface, the coin would rock because of the bent rims/faces.
4. If you were trying to create a mint error in your garage, and it wasn't what you wanted when you give up, what would you do with it? You send them. People find them and they come here to show us a mint error, which 90% of the time it is an altered coin.
But keep looking. It doesn't hurt to ask. Now you know some things to help you identify damaged coins. (so all is not lost)
