    Found these Jefferson Nickel while searching a box of nickels. New to errors and would like any information you can share about these three nickels. Thanks.

    Are you guessing or do you know for sure?

    There are three coins shown.

    The 1962 looks like a lamination.
    The first one is interesting. Not sure what may have caused it or if it is an actual error or PMD.

    The first looks like it could be a combination of environmental & chemical damage.

    I agree that the '62 looks like a lamination.

    Thanks for the replies. Im looking up how the lamination error occurs on the coin. Any ideas for the 72?

    Not too sure on the 72. I've seen quite a few coins like that, though. The dies may have been misaligned.

    The first thing I thought of was that it had been struck through capped dies and has just seen a good amount of circulation since then.

    It looks like an off-center strike.....about 5% or less.
