twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 6:18 pm I have been looking over what I plan to take too the ANA in Chicago. From junk to doubles and triples and such and I ran into to this. I am sure I found it neat when I bought it Lord knows when!. It looks like a late die state in something and I have never seen anything like it before. I was thinking plancet bubbles but that's not it as the bumps are solid. Report this Post to the Staff

Newbismatic Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 12:46 pm Strange... is there anything going on with the obverse? Looks like a lamination error that you see on many new Lincoln cents to me. I've just never seen it like this on a nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 1:06 pm I suspect that the coin was struck with a rusty die. The heavy die polish also supports that premise, they tried to remove the rust scale on the surface but pits were left behind. It is not terribly uncommon on late 1800s branch mint coins but I have never seen it on a more modern coin. Report this Post to the Staff
