I have a bag that I put nickel in while coin roll hunting. I put years 70- and below and I was looking through it when I saw this 1950 nickel. I think it might be a broadstrike. It ia thicker than a normal nickel as you can see from the pictures. And yes, my nails are painted (It was a challenge ok)
Who knows, that's the ONLY interesting thing about this piece. Not the squished (indented) edge from the alteration. That may be opposite the "chipping."
The upset rim only shows a bit on the Reverse. If it were Broadstruck you would see it all the way around and on both sides. You coin was damaged somehow.
Agreed, but the last detail image has me wondering if it was a partial-collar strike to begin with. It'd be difficult to imitate that look so cleanly in a postmint incident, and that could explain the extra thickness. The elongation noted at northwest on the reverse is certainly due to postmint impact, SorenCoins (it clearly got scraped hard against something), but aside that how does the diameter compare to a "normal" Nickel?
Ah. You'd described it as "thicker," but in the image it's the thinner of the two coins so my signals got mixed.
Can you guys check out the other thread i made this morning in error coins? No one has replied but its had 47 views?
