Chiefie New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 5:41 pm I found 10-15 nickels of this variety in a box I acquired in early 2020. The error intrigued me. I haven't seen a consistent error like this on a modern nickel before. There is a raised bulge/sliver of metal that completely "breaks" the smaller of the two pillars and distorts (lays behind) the larger of the two. Thoughts?

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 10:55 pm Looks to be some kind of die gouge. The incuse gouge on the die will form a raised area on the coin after striking Report this Post to the Staff
