Jefferson Nickel varieties (have you seen this before?)

Hi. I just signed up with CoinTalk recently but I've been around for a bit.

Have you seen this varieties before?
1. Looks like die crack on the head
2. What looks like a broken off column
3. All the writting around Montecillo removed

I pulled them all from different coin rolls.
The pictures are not greatest, as I dont have the right equipment.
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

1. Nice die crack
2. Looks like glue. Try acetone to see if it comes off
3. Damaged, spend it

 

Meow would say the same.

 

That is a nice "spikehead" die crack,The second is just coin counter damage.

 

1 and 3 agreed, number 2 might be a small strike through. Can't tell if it is raised or incuse.

 

What you have are not varieties. Your posted pictures are mints errors or damage.

Edit: The 1st & 2nd pictures do look like die cracks, the 3rd looks likes a scratch. Is it raised or recessed?

These are varieties:

Copy. I wasnt sure what's the right word to use when I started this post. Thanks for the clarification.

 

No problem. You're in the right section. It just takes time. Most people just write: "Error??" in there subject line when they are not sure.

 

#2 is not a die crack. If it’s raised, it may be glue or some other adhered material like @Heavymetal said and it is not an error. If it is recessed, then it’s a minor strikethrough error like @Conder101 said. I can’t tell from the pics, but the OP should easily be able to tell with it in hand.


I agree with the other posts that #1 is a die crack/die break while #3 is PMD.

 

I don't think we're referring to the same pictures.
