Titles are Important! * I found a 1957D Nickel with a circle in the middle of the coin. At first thought might be from something other then when it was stuck. But after I looked a little closer I noticed the tight circle is almost perfectly centered between the two columns. I dont know alot about error coins. My search led me here to find if this was indeed a error coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 03:33 am The circle on your coin is incuse (recessed) and from PSD (Post Strike Damage). The person doing the damage just happened to line the circle up in the center of the coin. Welcome to the forum. (Thanks for starting a new thread.) You can see the thin and raised ridges of metal immediately next to the recessed part. This ridge is displaced metal from when the object cut the circle into the face of the coin. Remember that the surface of the coin is a "mirrored" image of the face of the die. Usually when you see an incuse (recessed) area on a coin that would mean there would be a corresponding area on the die that is raised. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19186 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 08:00 am PMD me thinks. I've come across three or four similar nickels over the years--the most recent a couple months ago--a 'roughish' circle/oval-like feature in the building's center. I think is was on an early '60s coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 7:08 pm Check to see if it is the same size as a 22 shell. Someone may have smacked one on this nickel to leave an incuse mark. (99% of the time an incuse mark on a coin is coin damage. 1% it is a mint error) Report this Post to the Staff
