The area with the error is also raised a bit, as if two coins were struck together. I'm kinda new to this, so I'm curious if anyone recognizes the error and if it might be worth anything more than .05? Found it in a roll Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 10/20/2023 04:15 am Yep, I agree. Glue or something similar with the impression from another coin. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 10/20/2023 05:35 am to the CCF Appears that two nickels were glued together then pulled apart. Soak it in acetone and the new image will dissolve. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 10/20/2023 06:56 am All you have to do is look at the 2 images and know the 1 underneath shows by far more ware than the one on top . That would defy all the rules of common sense to me this definitely happened after it left the mint Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 10/20/2023 07:48 am You are very correct, 2 coins were stuck together at some point, then separated. the left over you see is glue residue holding the pattern of the other coin. A nice acetone soak should soften it up for easy removal. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
