I was asked for verification as to whether or not the five cent coins come from the same die. Well :) After giving my old digital a great workout, and two sets of batteries later, this is the best the camera (and 'eye') could do... Photo one is a normal coin; photo two is showing the dimple at the base of the neck, with a line projecting from the 'P' towards the rim; Photo three is the mid-life of the die break, same projection of the 'P'; Photo four is the latest version of the break. The line from the 'P' is somewhat difficult to see. These markings are the only consistent ones I could find on the coins shown previously. The surface marks seem to be more severe during the progression. I hope this is of interest, and thanks again for your time! Please forgive any out of focus images...

staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 5:53 pm Perhaps I'm reaching a bit with the repetitive mark from the P towards the rim. As mentioned previously, it's the only consistent die mark I could find. My fourth example is not posted, but it has the complete metal deposit with the P line. Either everyone has one of these or it's very rare. That covers the whole spectrum. A title for this error could be "Modified Shoulder Fold"? Thanks for viewing! Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 1:08 pm I think it's an amazing find staircase Of all the millions of nickels out there,what are the odds that a progression like this would come to one collector outside of original rolls? Hope that more show up Report this Post to the Staff

staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 2:18 pm I can't argue your point there! I've only dealt with circulated coins and finding one that grades at the MS level is most difficult. Thanks DBM for your encouraging comment. I won't stop hunting! Edited by staircase 07/12/2011 2:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
