Jessyholden New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/05/2021 01:39 am I just found this nickle on the ground and I was wondering if it was worth anything. I know it's an obverse error but that's about it.. Thank you ahead of time for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

There are a lot of ways the damage could have occurred, your photo is not clear enough for a definitive guess but likely a grinder was used to remove the majority of the obverse legends. Not an error but an interesting curiosity. Edited for spleging Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 10/05/2021 05:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19246 Posts	Posted 10/05/2021 07:27 am Agree, post-strike damage. Not an error. Seems we've seen few other coins on the forum with similar damage the last couple months. Report this Post to the Staff

Very deep voice: *"Hey there you there down there!"* On the other hand, it makes me tempted think that it is very possibly, a very deliberate and very artful form of Post Mint Damage. I would pull this coin out of a dealer's junk box in heartbeat. Could even be converted into a jewelry neck piece. Report this Post to the Staff
