Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73900 Posts	Posted 07/30/2024 12:32 am It appears to be caused by over polishing (die abrasion). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 07/30/2024 08:33 am That's really neat. I agree it's an over-polished or re-polished die. Can we see an image of the whole reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95389 Posts	Posted 07/30/2024 1:34 pm There is more going on than just a die polishing event. It seem like the roof line is changed.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 07/30/2024 10:18 pm Yeah, Dearborn is right. That looks a lot more like the low relief railings from earlier nickels. http://www.varietyvista.com/04a%20J...arieties.htm https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...c-dcam/94205 It's definitely a 1984 and not a 1974?

ErrorsRcool Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 07/31/2024 09:35 am Hello wrongalot. I took a look at a few pictures of other 1984 S proof Jefferson nickels and they all had that gap in the roof line so I am tempted to say it is the normal design of the coin. I'm not positive though. The rest of the group is way more experienced and could give you a better idea. ErrorsRCool. Report this Post to the Staff

wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 12:34 pm Sorry, got date wrong, it is a 1972-S and a reversed design variety. Thanks everyone for your comments. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 10:20 pm I got a new 1971-S proof nickel today, and I noticed that almost all of the railing details had been erased by die polishing. It reminded me of this thread, so I thought I would add a few pics in case any future searchers wondered if that were normal on proof nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
