Coin79 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 08/14/2024 5:48 pm Found this nickel in a friends change jar. Looks like maybe a staple got in the way durning the minting process. Thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/14/2024 5:50 pm @coin, those dimples are mechanical damage rather than mint errors. My bet is that someone used this nickel for target practice with a BB gun.
