I am still new to errors and varieties. Please bare with my ignorance. I found this 1970 Jefferson nickel today and it looks like there is a die crack in Jefferson's forehead running to the rim of the coin any help in verification would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. I just recently got a new Microscope. I was hopeful it would work much better.

Very nice spike head, none listed on COC for that year/mint either, nice discovery! Here is a link. http://cuds-on-coins.com/jefferson-...s-1938-1999/

As said, very nice pics. Can you take that new scope and get us a closeup of the date and of the mint mark?

Thank you, Morph, for the pics. I thought I saw distortion in the date and also the mm and wanted to check out the possibility of a DDO or RPM. Our own Tanman has the discovery for the only DDO listing I could find but I do not see any hub doubling in yours. Here is a link and your pic.

Here is a pic of your mm and a link of the closest thing I could find to what looks similar to yours but is not it. I cannot tell for sure if yours is even an RPM, because of the shadowing that is in your pic. Yours looks like there is something going on at the northwest point of the mm and the west.

Occasionally, something will catch my eye but does not always pan out. I would try to get a good pic that shows the mm without shadows though and see if there may be something there.

I will do that. It just so happens that in the two rolls of coins I had I found two more coins with the same error.

Very nice!

Just so you know, die cracks are not errors but a die event.
