what is it? lol

 

I can see an atom

 

Its a canadian dime, or nickel ...

 

It would be helpful to know the denomination/date. I've seen this before; I think it happens because the dies are plated, and when plating chips off over time you get these raised areas.

 

I'm going to be laughing at this for the rest of the day at least.

 

it is a 1999 nickel

 

the suspense killed us all.

 

Why, I can see the atoms apple also. Just kidding, but are you seeing something that is in process and is in early stage of it occurrence in split platting. if it is how long will something like that accrue until you see the splt.

 

I think Jefferson is crying.

 

The tears and scars on one of our founding father's face is so true to today, I'll bet he is also turning over in his grave. The picture would be a good piece of modern art, love it

 

So, what tipped ya'll off that this coin was a Jefferson nickel? It was his eyes wasn't it? For me it was the lips, thar purty.

 

Jefferson is probably sobbing about the fact that they changed his face on the 2006 nickel

 

You folks do realize that Jefferson faces to the left?

 

Prior to 2004 yes. Now he faces right. The nickels produced for Lewis & Clark changed the face and the direction. But with a camera and a computer, you can make him face any direction.

 

That's not a Jefferson...no where on a Jefferson Nickel do you have the letters D, G and R (or I for you devil's advocate types) with dots between them..

 

Please give more details. Country, etc. Can we get a full face pic?

 

Well @eddio said it was a 1999 nickel, so here is a picture of a pretty beat up Canadian nickel...My guess is eddio is messing with us or he likes all the die chips\gouges (or whatever they are) in and around the eye of the Beloved Queen.

 

Thanks. I'll go with eddio is messing with us but I still think the Queen is crying.

 

I was really hoping I was going to get a response from the two I quoted. I guess my post conveyed I thought it was a Jefferson also with the "purty(pretty) lips" comment.
I put an emoticon for the pretty lips comment, then the great another smart-a$$ comment emoticon, then the oh-boy no one is buying this emoticon, last but not least the wink in hey I know its not a Jefferson nickel emoticon. I'll try to use more emoticons in my post to convey my message better.
