angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 01/28/2026 10:34 pm Hello everyone. While sorting through some coins, I found a 1979-D Jefferson nickel that seems to have a RPM. Or is what I'm seeing caused by Die Deterioration? Thank you for any assistance offered. Report this Post to the Staff

The mint mark is also filled. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/28/2026 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The notch in the lower left serif of the D is caused by a damaged mint mark punch. Links to Error Ref are included in my post: https://goccf.com/t/453246 Report this Post to the Staff
