It is MMS-002. Not all 1948 nickels used this mint mark punch, which is why it can be confusing. I agree, the raised metal on the obverse at 1:00 is due to the damage on the edge. I'm not sure what to think about the metal on the reverse near the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff

I added arrows to point out that there appears to be a crack or break in the Rim, with uneven or additional alloy below it. 4th - Reverse close up at K3 Understanding that I'm out of my league and incapable of offering a cogent opinion, I'll give one anyway...I'm now thinking that the alloy overflow on the reverse is a Rim issue, and resulted from a weakness in the Rim when the coin was struck.
