NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 10/24/2021 12:26 am There is a sliver of metal on the reverse of this Jefferson nickel, and I don't know what it is. Can you folks enlighten me? Thank you You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 10/24/2021 07:06 am @numi, assuming that you have used the tip of a wooden toothpick or similar to ensure that it isn't just a whisker stuck on top of the coin, my best guess is that it is the metal "smushed" up when a sharp blade made that small surface cut. I'm struggling to see how it could be anything but damage of some sort.
