Lunaricide New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 09:44 am Hello, In my box of nickels I had a healthy 40 or so 2005 nickels and was looking for a speared bison. Unfortunately I did not find one, but I found this coin instead. It's the grazing bison with the "E" on "NEM" covered and illegible. It vaguely reminds me of the Arizona State Quarter error. It was hard to get proper pictures, but I hope these will do! I also added a picture for comparison for what is probably considered normal for the NEM initial. Thanks, Lunar Edited by Lunaricide 10/07/2019 09:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

Lunaricide New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 10:08 am Thanks both of you! You're right, I didn't think about upside down pictures at all. I thought it might show a different vantage point, but I can move the lights around to do the same thing. I'll be more mindful of that with future pictures.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 4:52 pm Also the chip was flattened in circulation. (Possibly when the coins were rolled up or another event happened. The die had a piece of the die chip away. When that happens, then the planchet metal fills in that area on the die, leaving a raised area on the device/s. Happens a lot on the newer dies, but also happen on the older dies as well. Report this Post to the Staff
