Hello all,

Attached is a 1980 nickel I found the other day. Was wondering if this could be a stamping error or if it is a rare coin?

Please crop and greatly enlarge your image. Appears to be an attempted puncture.

Looks like someone starting drilling into it.

This certainly wouldn't happen at the mint.

Think? How could this be a mint error? If the die was altered, there would be hundreds of thousands of these. Just one? Altered post strike.

Cannot determine from the single pic posted. Full, large and sharp images of the obverse and reverse would certainly help. A simple enlargement/blow-up of the existing photo wouldn't be useful
