I know its not an error but the perfectness of it is weird. Edited to add arrows to the door photo so people know what I'm talking about.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1797 Posts	Posted 07/05/2024 7:21 pm There is a recessed area on the door by the door frame. Normally there's the frame and door - this has a recessed space in between. Here is a normal door. Edited by Seeker_101 07/05/2024 7:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6905 Posts	Posted 07/05/2024 11:13 pm You are definitely seeing a recessed area just inside the door frame. That is a normal feature of Monticello for all of the 1990s. The recessed area was removed with the design change for 2006+ nickels. Here is a 1998-P example on PCGS that shows it particularly well: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45896864 http://www.varietyvista.com/04a%20J...arieties.htm Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 12:20 am Actually the Monticello isn't a Memorial, it's an 11,000 sq. ft. house and was Jefferson's home from 1772 - 1826. Jefferson designed and built the Monticello back in 1772 and it was his residence until he died. Jefferson was buried on the grounds. The building is now a museum and educational institution. Interesting Facts about the Monticello... The property has been designated a National Historic Landmark. It's known as 'The Birthplace of Mac & Cheese' but this 'fact' may just be a myth. It's located just outside Charlottesville, Virginia. The huge 'Dome Room' wasn't used much as it was too hot in Summer and too cold in Winter. The home was built on Jefferson's tobacco plantation of 5,000 acres. The name Monticello derives from Italian meaning "little mountain". It was sold in 1834 to Uriah P. Levy, a commodore in the U.S. Navy, for $2,500. AND... You may know this, but it's depicted on the reverse of the US nickel! There IS a Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC. Here's what the Memorial looks like. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
