base_metal New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 2:56 pm Hello, today I found a 1945 P Jefferson nickel that is missing lower part of date. Rest of coin doesn't look damaged to me, so wondering if this is a mint error? Thanks for any input! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97306 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 3:09 pm lots of damage here - rim is gone on both sides, top of the devices are sanded down, and then there is the date and liberty, it looks a little grinder action there too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
