Thread: Guess the error on this 1991D jefferson nickel

Thanks Harry. I assume this is true for all/ most coins?

The terms "die adjustment strike", "die trial", and "set-up piece" are labels that simply reflect wishful thinking. Unless you were there at the striking, it is impossible to identify the ultimate cause of a low-pressure strike. Most, if not all, seem to be the product of spontaneous equipment malfunction.
