Jason....
I may be able to provide that---let me check out some copyright issues. Since I now own varietynickels.com it would depend on how it was (C).

| Interesting thread except that the original story is no longer available. Very interesting since I just found (this morning) a Jeff nickel with 1994P Obverse and a 1986P (head) on the Reverse side. The coin is AU on both sides. Haven't had time to photo it yet, I showed it to my wife and came on-line to find out what I could find out, and here I am.
Can somebody lead me to the original article that is in the sticky thread from JTWAX? I would like to read how/when/where this is being done.
I am almost certain that this is a fake....how else would you have a coin with two different dates, 8 years apart?
UPDATED:::::
FAKE: Found where the 1994P coin had been machined out on the reverse side and the obverse of the 1986P coin was installed. There is a slight ridge between the two surfaces and a definite line all the way around the coin where the insert (1986P Obverse) was inserted.
Still would like to read the original sticky article if anyone can lead me to it.

I weighed the nickel against others and the weight is right at 6gr, though it feels heavy. The "thud" is there though, no ring at all.
Thanks again.....

| Nah...it isn't lost...I'm just trying to find out if I can use it.
You see--that article had been copyrighted VarietyNickels.com. Since I now own that domain name does anyone know if that means I can use it on the website again?
Some of the other articles were (C) J Taylor, but some were with with the domain name.

- Since JT himself originally posted it to this forum, restoring that post with a corrected link would not seem to be a copyright infringement.
- Not being an intellectual property specialist, I can't give any assurance of the accuracy of my legal opinion on a copyright issue.

| Interesting---
#1--well there was no paperwork.
Just an email saying that I hated to see the domain name go to spammers since he was going to let it go. I paid a small ammount and he transfered the domian name to my accoun.t
If I restore the post I will need to restore it to the website and then fix the link in this thread. That is why I havent yet. I've written JT and asked about reprinting a few of the different articles and have never heardback.

Speedy | Write him again, tell him what you would like to do and ask his permission. Keep writing until he answers.

Howdy,
If you are talking about the hole in the date--that is post mint damage. If the coin appears to have 2 heads, then post a photo of the other side.
Since I'm pretty sure we are talking about the hole I will go from there - The only thing that could cause something like that from the mint is a strike throu, and I'm quite sure this isn't one. I'm no expert on errors, and maybe one will be by with a detailed answer.
If my answer is correct, then there wouldn't be any reason to have it graded, because there is no extra value other than face value.
Speedy
