Carla Lee New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 9:40 pm Hello Everyone! I hope all are well! Happy Independence day weekend! Thank you for all that have served to keep me free! I have this nickel... Is it just damage, or is this a pretty large grease error? Thanks for teaching me! Have a great night! Carla Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 10:09 pm well asking to crop your photos better has been addressed, so I won't go there. But your nickel just look normal with extensive circulation hits and dings. But there may be some Grease Filled Die issue with 'Monticello, and Five Cents on the reverse (the only side you presented) please show both sides of your coin each time, then any close-up images of areas of concern.

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 04:52 am Yes that latest pic is spot-on. While there is heavy circulation wear, it looks to me like the letter O of MONTICELLO was not struck up by the die, perhaps because of grease in the die.
