SweetStrawberry New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 7:23 pm This is a 1979 nickel that is stuck to a 1980 penny. The only part of the penny that you can see is "80 D" just barely. Is it possible it was made this way or did someone do this themselves? Thank you so much in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 7:36 pm Hi and ... Stick around here for as much learning on coins as you want! This item you are showing us was a real nickel and real cent that someone smashed together post mint to possibly make a curiosity. All of the nickel side has bad post mint damage with the discoloration and large scratches. Folk out there can do some very strange things to coins Report this Post to the Staff

SweetStrawberry New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 10:02 pm Thank you all! I appreciate your replies. I was wondering, is there a book or pdf on all the various coin errors for each year for US coins? I've looked but haven't had much luck finding one. I'm a total amateur when it comes to coins but I love looking at them under magnification. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
