Morph Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 11:42 am Good morning all, The coin I am posting is my one my father found in change. I am not sure what to make of it. On the obverse of the coin there is what appears to me to be post mint damage but on the reverse is a partial imprint of what appears to be Thomas Jeffersons bust from a nickel. I would appreciate your thoughts. The coin weighs 3 oz, I do not have the coin in my possession. Thank you all in advance for any constructive insights. Report this Post to the Staff

Morph Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 12:01 pm Thank you for the response. The only thing that makes me question really is that the bust is raised and not incuse, if it was a vise job would it not be incuse? Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 12:01 pm Well, that is certainly interesting. Jefferson appears to be a positive, which would not be the result of a vise job. Is it indeed raised, and not just indented and photographed at an angle that makes it only seem raised? Looking forward to what folks have to say on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 3:06 pm Vise job. The reason it is raised is if you look at the area on the obverse that is damaged it lines up and pushes out the reverse. It tells me the damage on the obverse was done after the vise job.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 4:03 pm Do you have other angles of the reverse? "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 4:10 pm Isn't "Jefferson" facing the wrong way? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Morph Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 4:13 pm I will see if I can get some different angles of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2834 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 4:37 pm @Tacc, my sleep deprived brain didn't factor in Jeffersons directional aspect, til pete pointed it out specifically, which was the nail-in-the-coffin vise job moment for me. But technically, you did mention it first. Report this Post to the Staff
