I have this 1996 p nickel has something wrong on the reverse

It's a plating issue of some sort. It's not a lamanation error. Worn out die probably like my dime I showed a few days ago.

It's a plating issue of some sort. It's not a lamanation error. Worn out die probably like my dime I showed a few days ago but it's raising up over the D. And above Monticello View attachment 827421 View attachment 827422 View attachment 827423

 

Ok what happened to my post? Why isn't it showing my photos?

 

Nickels are not plated.. Copper Plated Zinc Cents are plated..
Nickels don't have a clad layer with a Copper Core as Dimes and Quarters do

I will say a worn die strike issue.

 

See other thread. I reported this one as a duplicate. You must of hit post thread twice

 

We can see your photos but some with computers/laptops may not be able/willing to open them.

 

I am so sorry. I don't know what happened.

 

Worn/overused Die

 

JEEZ Paddy!!! Shrews I am sorry for the thread derail..... Is that a forty pound striper in your photo??

 

Almost.. 36 pounder

 

I am so jealous.... But dang man... WAY TO GO!!!!

 

Hey guys I caught a whited striped bass. Not as big but pretty good size

 

Well dang Shrews!! I liked you before. Now I like you a lot!

 

Nice!

 

I would agree with @paddyman98 . Most people do not know dies get damages as they strike coins. This is why the mint will frequently take dies off the presses and polish them to clean them up. This is the source of worn dies, die lines, etc. It looks like this nickel was struck right before a mint worker would have removed the die to polish it.

 

This site has been acting up on me for a week now, have no clue what is going on. Double posts, shadow posts after I post, pics not showing right away, can't edit normally. Alerts drop down not working, having to refresh constantly.

 

Dang! What fish? I don't see any fish!

 

Post 14. Shrews with a Zebco and a fish as long as her leg. You don't see that?
