2020 P Jefferson Nickel Dropped Letter(S)?

The area above the S below the S and middle left of the S look like a gouge that has displaced metal from the divots, Kind of like a golf divot,At least that what the pictures show

I was just being sarcastic and emulating the guy who sets up a booth and picks a controversial topic and then says prove me wrong to get persepctive. I'm glad you caught onto that jasper. Cause unless I'm a wizard or an actual alchemist, you cant add metal or devices or whatever, extra metal, to a coin that's already been minted. Unless you're an asian counterfeiter. They know.

It's frustrating to keep hearing the same questions when I've provided all the answers. If someone doesn't want to believe what I'm saying, I dont care. I like the nickel. I'm not gonna sell it. Never sold a coin I've found in my life. Not what I'm in it for. I like the process. There should be cause and effect. Not I have more posts than you

Ok well if there are no aspects of these areas that are incuse, then I am stumped.


Added: it is fine to feel frustrated, but just please watch your language. I removed a little bit that isn't appropriate for CCF.

Hopefully, at the end of this thread you (and everyone else) will have learned something.

Agreed - had this happen many times, but on a forum we take the "good" with the "bad." Not everyone, unfortunately, will take the time to go back through and see what has or has not been said. Others post small tidbits of about their thoughts with no explanation.




Admittedly the pics are deceiving, like you said, about this. Maybe Mike Diamond will chime in. This is a very interesting oddity for sure.

No one has to do this but look at my original post then look at the next 3 responses. They're basically about the areas being raised or not. We all know you cant believe what you see with your eyes all.the time, especially in pictures. Which is why we love detailed descriptions. But if you dont even give those descriptions an ounce of credence what's the point? Look at the pic and take a stab in the dark. This basically isn't about the coin anymore, its prob worth 5 cents if I'm lucky. I love to argue, dont get me wrong. I'll be happy if I'm wrong cause next time I wont be. But there are a ton of new people on here and they post something, and they get dismissed right off the bat. I'm guilty of it too sometimes. I'm just more mad about all the 55 DD's I probably threw away when I was starting out cause people didnt read my description and just auto filled MD. It's probably in the dozens

I don't think die gouge.. unless during a die change someone dropped the new die. Damage seems to concentrated in one area, very odd to have raised & incuse in the same anomaly.

Thanks for the chuckles and for bringing some levity to the forum.

(I like this coin and thread because it makes me look at it from both sides of the aisle, not just rely on my initial impression.)
Most of the areas do look raised IMHO. The raised areas are much larger than the "divots" nearby (above the "S" for instance) and with the area above the "U", the deeper area isn't a divot but actually looks like the original field from the die (in the OP's last image).

Can you please get a closeup image of the rim above the "S" and "U" without shadows? It may help show that the raised areas impact the die rim gutter and are not "resting" on the die like moved metal would appear.
