Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 9:30 pm nice set - good to see they were kept together. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 9:58 pm So - these are coin 1 obverse, coin 2 obverse, coin 1 reverse, coin 2 reverse - is that right? Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 10:57 pm Niiiice. In 1999 the mint sure had issues with coins being struck out of collar. Lincoln cents are notorious for that in 1999. (I like the extra "nubbin" at K10 of the obverse and K8 on the reverse.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 06/25/2022 10:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 01:02 am @met, this is a pretty cool set of nickels. You didn't take an overall pic of the three fitting together before they were slabbed, did you. I think that including that image on this thread would really help to clarify for newer collectors what you have there. Thx!

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 07:16 am What does the slab say for both coins? I'm seeing one struck 60% off center and the other struck 85% off center with a second strike. Double struck What makes this a chain strike? Report this Post to the Staff
