1942 Nickel with chunk of extra material?

I found this today in a roll. It's nothing special, but once I looked at it through a loop I noticed a big chunk of extra material where the mint mark should have been.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Curious.. I have seen a few of these types of coins before but i am not sure if they are some sort of lamination,pmd, or what. Hopefully someone can chime in and share some knowledge.

 

looks like ya' caught a fish. (error coin) don't know its size (value)

(got to love those fishing metaphors )

 

Here's the front, if it helps.

Would you consider it a keeper? Does anyone know if it has any value? I'm not trying to cash it up or anything, just interested in what I stumbled across.

 

edit. I see it now

 

Looks like a lamination peel, but I'd like to see a photo so that the reverse is not at an angle to the lens. Lamination peels are minor error(unless extreme) and might fetch a buck or two.

 

Famous RPM - Tree trunk over D N/S. What does that P in the motto look like?

 

This is about as zoomed-in as I can get. I still can't find any info on what it is. Nor have I found anything else like it.

Any more thoughts? Is it a keeper?





Thanks for all the help!

-Cheers

 

I want one.
