One Sided Jefferson Nickel

Thank you for coming here to explain this to us. Hundreds of collectors here, with thousands of years of cumulative experience, would never have known this otherwise.

PCG-BS, it says something right there my friend. But this is a classy site so I won't go there...

 

Please keep us informed of your results.

 

Read and learn before spouting uninformed replies!

 

Nickel Mark, NICKEL, sheesh.

 

Sorry Tommy - we got an Indians "Watch Party" just getting started over here tonight!! But I do like the way you helped me out spelling Nickle? LOL!

 

Never the less the only marks on the blank side of the Nickel are natural surface scratching from movement inside of cash drawers or pockets. There are no marks indicating sanding, grinding, or any other form of defacement. It appears the same as a Planchet that was struck off center.

 

The surface would not be even. There would be noticeable marks. Even then comparison next to a normal Nickel is identical to this current Nickel. Also if it was Dremled it would not have gone through a coin spinner from a bank. I received this in a roll of Nickels directly from Chase Bank

 

If you are so damn knowledgable why did you bother asking all of us "UNINFORMED" coin collectors on CT?

 

I did not ask to be reconciled on what is impossible. All I know for sure is that this Nickel came from the Bank in a certified roll, as well as it has not been modified by any means to the surface from Grinding, Sanding, Dremel, or any other Method. I cannot explain this, and I was asking for an opinion that wasn't' "this is impossible" It happened, I have it right here, if it was impossible, why would it have made it passed circulation and passed the Bank into a change order for a retail store?

 

Okay, everybody, setting aside the OP's attitude and... odd ideas about nickel composition:

Could this be a case where two planchets ended up in the press at once? We know that capped dies happen; is it physically possible to get two planchets in at once, and if so, do they come out looking like this? (I think I know the answer, but I'd like to hear from those more knowledgeable...)

 

@Benjamin Monken please consider for just a second the amount of experience the collectors have that have responded to you. I'm willing to bet they could quadruple your current age with the number of years they've collectively continuously collected their collections. Consonance for the win. Please stop arguing with them, they know what they're talking about, you clearly do not, and should just stop...

 

Also, please post a better photo of your coin, no one could possibly tell you anything from something so small in a frame and poorly lit.

 

I cannot argue with the age, the experience, or the Knowledge, what I can say is that answers been given are not what has happened. I know for a fact this was from a bank. This in turn means it is in circulation. If it was Defaced, it would be taken out of Circulation by the Bank correct?

 

What bank certifies rolls? See how short questions do not require long answers?

 

No, what answers given - you cannot accept!

 

I think what he means is that it's impossible for this coin to be a mint error. At some point someone has altered the coin which makes it post mint damage. As such it is not an error but a damaged coin. The fact that it came in a roll means nothing, there is no such thing as a "certified roll" that I know of. Often even when getting boxes of nickels and cents sealed from the bank they will have post mint damaged coins in them.

 

Not at all. Bank counters focus on weight and size. Sanding off the face of a coin would hardly affect the overall size of the coin, and would likely be close enough in weight. No one would notice that, to be honest. I find defaced coins quite often in change.

 

Answer: no

Now come up with a new theory and try it out on us.
