Post your nickels

I have the attention span of a gnat. Lol.
So I grab a couple of boxes of nickels.
They need sorting just like the pennies.
There are new ones from late 50s and early 60s.

Hey, at least there's silver in there...

 

Already started a war nickel box

 

And I see a buffalo or two...

 

I know. And I thought I went through those but not everything is sorted out. I just thought these were Jeffersons.

 

It arrived today & here are my images.

 

It’s pretty.

 

25 buffaloes in that box.
Some pennies, a bunch of new early 60s nickels, and a small pile of silver.
The rest are 40s and 50s.
Not a wasted day. Lol
Happy New Year

 

Happy new year!

 

I was told it was PMD but under a microscope it appears to be struck that way. I passed it onto an error collector who said he would let me know if he figured it out. I haven't heard back

 

It isnt pmd ...that was done at the mint.

 

It looks like three or more rotated D's and an hor/S SE.
I don't think I have ever seen anything like it.
Maybe you got the benefits-reward of a wayward employee that got caught in the act. LOL

Hey, @Paddy54 that last Jeff you posted is that a tilted die?

 

I wish Ron Pope was still with us to see this one. I am totally convinced that its not pmd but multiple punches of the D and some how took a hit either on the mm or missed punched in the die. You can definitely see the serifs of the D at multiple places. Finned rim

The lower reverse rim there are 3 not done post mint was done when minted. Also needs to be pvc treated asap.

 

MAD AKA finned rim

Finned rims happen the most on a parralel strike. That is either a broken collar, or a tilted die.

 

Hey @Paddy54 is that a rim cud from the Y to the middle 9?

 

Very nice they are!!
