DVCollector: What do you mean by "MULE"  ? I have never heard of this term used for this coin. (I'm still a coin collecting novice,trying to learn all I can)

I swear I did not make up "mule"  I'd define a mule as a coin made from two dies intended for different production runs. Maybe someone has a better definition/reference.

if it a mule keep it. its good. a mule means two different things comming together to make one thing. ie: horse and donkey = mule. so in this case (but I dont know about these nickle varieties yet) a mule would be an obverse not intended for the reverse. ie: wheelchair curling with olympic symbol on other side instead of paraolympic symbol.
