    Is this 1940 nickel a mint error? The edges are raised with the text most of the way up the edges.

    Yep, just a "spooned" coin. I keep these though, as I find them interesting.

    No for both of them, as someone already mentioned, the first has been spooned. And the second probably was machined or bacam so corroded and brittle, it broke off....
