shathe Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 02/14/2023 5:50 pm i have about a dozen 2022 D nickles with the same error (hard to see and I'm not the best photographer). I think it's a die crack, but it's not like others I've seen. the 'crack' is wider than usual and kind of... vague I guess, and it's not through what is normally considered a 'weak spot' so, not even sure it's a 'die crack'.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/14/2023 6:52 pm If you are talking about the line over the first two, that looks like a hit not a crack.If it is the line on his head that looks like a scrape. Your pics are pretty good, but you need to filter your light source and crop pics better before posting them. John1 Edited by John1 02/14/2023 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Your pics are pretty good, but you need to filter your light source and crop pics better before posting them. I'm talking about a single curved line that runs from the bottom edge of the coin (jefferson's right lapel) arcing all the way over to the last '2' in 2022, where it ends in a small blob over the 2. it is in an identical location and basically the same on each coin (10 coins I think). and the only thing I've ever filtered is my coffee. also, what am I supposed to crop? am I supposed to use coin-hugging images?

I do see the one 'under' the date, which would be the highest point of a die. So if on the die, I would expect it to be incuse on the die and raised on the coin. Can you post up a few of the other nickels that have this for comparison? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Quote: Can you post up a few of the other nickels that have this for comparison? yes, but i'll need some time (no cell phone and the new laptop is function free, if you know what I mean). i'll get more pics in a few...

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 02/14/2023 8:59 pm So the marks are raised, which means that the issue lies with the die that struck these coins. That looks like a rim to almost rim die crack. (Future Cud, if you will) And since you only highlighted the marks on the chest and under the date. I'll assume that you are not inquiring about the 3 curved marks on the first coin (the marks in the hair, above the ear and below the ear) on the left side of the coin could be, as I stated earlier, coin rolling marks.

I thought you were talking about the actual 'error' and I didn't see how that would work. all of the other stuff is PMD, bag marks, etc. Edited by shathe 02/14/2023 9:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
