Happy Halloween, everyone.  I hope I am posting a real ghosting coin. LOL. Please let me know if it's a dud. The quality of my pictures go with Halloween---ghosting apologies.  Thanks.   |

i think I see what you see, but this one, if it is a ghosting coin, is weak. someone else who's seen more ghost coins will probably have a better answer...

Thanks...hole_in_pocket, spruett001, and Conder101. It's nice to know that there is weak and strong ghosting.
Hmmmm, let that weakness be my strength in learning more about coins so I can find more errors and varieties.
Coin hunting is fun.
Unending learning.:)
Enjoy everyone.

I would need to see photos of the coin NOT inside of a 2X2. It may be a reflection of the Mylar.

I see the start of the PIDT:  But it is not a scary coin, yet:  |

Hi, Panther. Adhered to your suggestion. Thanks. Hi, Coop. As always, my thanks for the information. I hope the mint can make coins like what you posted. That's scary. 1) 1953-S (bare coin)   2) 1955 (inside 2x2)   |

This can been seen on Memorials and nickels as well:    We often seen this on nickels on the reverse on the FIVE CENTS, but don't make the connection to this issue when we do see it. |

Is this bi-directional indirect die transfer. It looks kinda like the Monticello's ghost is behind Jefferson and Jefferson's ghost is behind the Monticello on this struck through error. Two ghost for a nickel!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

That's a cool coin, Yokozuna. A very nice coin to look for.

What is the weight of the last image of the nickel? The strike looks a bit weak on the obverse at 12:00 and the porch area on the building.

I'm curious too, coop. The rim seems to vanish as it approaches TJ's head. It's interesting.

Coop asked... Quote:
What is the weight of the last image of the nickel? It's 5 grams on the nose. I thought is might have been an adjustment strike. The reverse image above is new, but here's the original topic on the coin. http://goccf.com/t/357412&SearchTerms=1953-S ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting?
