This time I am not sure if it's a mint error or if it's damage from circular. HEEEEEEEEELP PLEASE! You can definitely make out some of the Monticello on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

But the next image says that it is a intentionally damaged nickel. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
