Of course, this is all pointless semantics as the OP has not checked in for over a month and more than likely never will again... Report this Post to the Staff

Under 10X the imprints appear to this 110% non-pro amateur to be deep, crisp, and clear. Imprints? That makes it sound like they are incuse. Quote: One side appears to be the left facing bust, the other is the 'Oceans in View' images of a 2005 commemorative nickel. Left facing? The bust on the 2005 nickel faces right. Once again makes it sound like it is incuse. An incuse image would face left. The bit about the images not lining up also makes it sound like a hammer job. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2011 10:45 am Sounds like a broadstruck nickel. The weight is close. Here is an example: The outside diameter is probably enlarged to a quarter in size. He mentioned something about the direction slightly off. maybe a broadstruck slightly off center. He didn't mention any cladding, but a quarter planchet would never fit in a nickel collar. So hopefully he comes back in to see if the image I posts matches? Report this Post to the Staff
