He has a much greater selection of stamps than he has of coins, but his stock of coins definitely exceeds my desired list for now Report this Post to the Staff
splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 04/30/2010 11:11 am Alright, my coworker just used his Nikon D60 to snap images of the nickle. The picture isn't that great...It still looks like there is a chunk of metal rather than metal missing. Maybe I need to find a coworker who knows how to use his camera obverse: reverse: Edited by splatto 04/30/2010 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 05/04/2010 3:30 pm I will mark the 2x2 as lamination error, unless anyone feels otherwise... Report this Post to the Staff
livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 3:04 pm You might consider this: it could be a "slag" pit", left after a piece of slag, was loosened, and lost after srtriking. it does not look like a nornal lamination. Hope this helps. Dick Report this Post to the Staff

afclassic87 Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 02:25 am It looks like a mint error to me. It's hard to think what could have made that spot with the coin looking good and for the most part unharmed. I would expect to see the coin in bad shape, like it was run over with a car. What ever the case I would keep it! It looks cool! Report this Post to the Staff
