Found CRH this afternoon. In-hand, you can barely see anything of Monticello or Five Cents except that last O. The nickel is scarred up, but given the minimal evidence of the wording, I don't think it was scraped off by a Coin Wrapping Machine and then smoothed by circulation. My guess is that it's a Greaser. Probably impossible to say definitively, given the state of coin wear, but I thought it would be fun to share.   |

Struck-thru Grease makes the most sense here.

ebay says it's a very rare double minted Philly/New Orleans minted nickel with the misplaced mint mark on the reverse (EB-mmm-P/O81).  But I say...nice grease, still 2x2 worthy

.09 over normal, so Greaser is most likely obverse and reverse. John1 |

Thanks, guys! =) Quote: ebay says it's a very rare double minted Philly/New Orleans minted nickel with the misplaced mint mark on the reverse (EB-mmm-P/O81). You sir, are a malevolent genius, and I salute you!  |
