Ok so I no you all will say this is not an error but we put it under the scope and there is just no way this type of damage could happen post mint and I'll try to explain why then tell me what u think ok. Look at the circle were the error is then look at the side rim, theres no way it would not effect the edge if it was post damage this had to be when this coin was minted with some wierd error? It's to perfect and precise. To be post we think.
Yeah we have been tryn figure this one out for a while lol....everything points to an error and not post once you look at it under the scope tho I just hope were correct ha.
Ok so u tell me how u melt a coin with like a car lighter or whatever enough to melt the coin but not touch any of the edge? When its melted all the way to the edge but not one mark on the rim edge?
It's not melted. It's some kind of garbage on the surface of your coin. Mix it with some other damage and "Voila!" there's your "big error". Also, it is spelled "NICKEL". Not "nickle". We aren't French.
Ok well your wrong it is melted check your eyes I might need better pics but its 100% melted you can see it and feel it on the coin if it's in front of you....100% fact that's not gunk on the coin...so what u say now?
Could be solder or something else. It is sitting on top of the obverse design. That is made clearer by your new pictures.
Even if that WERE a mint error, and I doubt it is, in that condition it would literally be worthless. Steve
My buddy is into coins and he cant figure out how it would be post once he scoped it..but yes he also doesn't get how it wouldn't be a mint error so
He says its almost impossible to melt it that bad but not effect the rim even in the slightest so therefore were confused!
