CoinForager New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 9:50 pm The reverse of this 1944-D Nickel has what looks like a miniature rotated second Monticello to the left of the mint mark and under lettering of "Pluribus". I would normally think this is damage from circulation, but it looks like the R from Pluribus was struck on top of whatever this is. I've tried to provide a couple of close up images, but they aren't the best quality. My best guess is that this is a lamination issue, but I honestly have no idea. I'd also still believe this is really just circulation damage. Thank you for your help in advance! Report this Post to the Staff
