Do you have anything ODD? Post it here ☆

The term odd is used in our hobby on items that are found un naturally on the coins surface,and devices.
Here's one I picked years ago....the 1884 star in shield variety. If you look at the reverse shield upper left cornor what looks to be a cut star in the shield.
Many series have been noted to have anomalies on them that are questionable as to how they got there.

This 1880 Snow 8 is another example of ODD on a coin.

Based upon your photo (a bit blurry), I'd say pareidolia is in play.

 

Did you read the link? And yes the image is maxed out on enlargement but shows the star.

 

I don't normally click on links, but I did for you. In my opinion, the anomaly on the example you are showing, is due to the lamination problem, not a star at all. But, that being said, yours does seem to match that photo.
I don't work with IHC but you might want to submit it for authentication to confirm indianacentvarieties entry.

 

Yeah I understand totally about links..but the star is a listed variety for the date ,one of those things that happened at the mint.

 

Its already listed under my name on the site above so yes its authenticated .

 

Odd?
Sure.

 

Good cuz I see the star too

 

I have something odd. It looks like additional fabric on Jeffersons knot between the ponytail and the collar. I have been told it's a common die clash.

 

The 1943 nickel is most probably the specimen with the most varieties. 78 some rpm , DDO's ,DDR's over date, etc... etc... not knocking your find have heard of this before myself.
The old joke is" show me a 43 that isn't a variety " another favorite is "show me a 64 with a step" 64 nickels most minted ever FS nickel are near impossible to find.

 

I have more than a few of those other varieties. This one I have never seen listed before and now I have 4 of them.

 

I have a ty 2 proof silver 1942 struck with the proof die of a 42. As the obv. Die marker is found on the silver proof.

 

Now that’s a tricky one

 

Obverse die from the 1857 FE clashed with the obverse die from the 1857 $20 gold piece.

 

ODD toning

 

This is a fun one.
