Newherehavingfun Valued Member United States 190 Posts	Posted 03/24/2022 3:22 pm I have this 1974 Nickel with some fun chips. It has 3 different events. One on the upper rim obverse at TRUST. Doesn't appear like other dents I have on my coins, I could be wrong though. There is a chip like event on his neck. And what looks like a Cud but not really.. on the lower rim obverse below his shoulder. Whatever it is, it's always really fun to find. Can anyone help me identify the events on this one? Thank you so much! (I'm watching video's on mintage too, thanks for the advice to this newbie.) Report this Post to the Staff

The rim dent could easily be damage but the other ones are pretty cool anyhow. Plus it doesn't help that my photos are still awful. Investing soon in some kind of a microscope. Thanks so much! :) Report this Post to the Staff

To me it looked a bit like extra metal on the face of the coin. But I wasn't sure about that spot. Thank you! Now to get better images so I can see clearly ;) Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 03/25/2022 10:38 am sounds like you're learning and having fun with this coin, which is a good thing just be aware that most collectors don't treasure such coins because more like them can easily be made by dragging coins across pavement, smashing them with a hammer, etc. Report this Post to the Staff

I am over excited about everything little thing I see. So far I only have 1 coin with spiked head/cracked skull and a tiny Cud. But I'm keeping it anyhow and getting some appropriate pages and 2x2's to keep everything in. Including all my wheat heads. I need to limit my posts because they probably don't belong here. But I love everyone's input and it really helps immensely. It really is super fun... I'm learning a lot!!!! But I also know absolutely nothing!!! I'm ok with that! haha ;) Thanks so much for your comment! Report this Post to the Staff
