kywhisky13 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 01/11/2025 9:52 pm I was just sorting some coins with a magnifier, and I noticed a line on a 1964 Nickel that I thought was odd on Jefferson's shoulders. As I looked closer, I could see the letters for "cents" in Jefferson's hair. Then, I realized I could read Unum under Jefferson's bust. I have personally not seen this. When you look closer, you can seem more than most of Pluribus Unum. I also think you can see most of United States over top of the In God We Trust. Does this count as an error? Is this a common error? The reverse seems to have a lot of wear. Any information or thoughts on this are appreciated. thanks W Report this Post to the Staff
