    Does the 62 seem out of place, larger? I don't see many nickels so this is a tough one for me, almost like an inverted 9 for a 6. Mint marking looks off as well, damage? IMG_20181201_064351.jpg Screenshot_20181201-065359.png IMG_20181201_064949.jpg IMG_20181201_064351.jpg

    Looks normal to me but looks larger due to wear. The 62 have worn more than the 19. Remember, it has been in circulation for 56 years.

    I have been looking at a lot of Nickels lately and that does not look normal to me. Like either the 19 is weak or the 62 is larger.

    Seems like a worn die plus circulation to me.

    The bottom of the 6 & 2 looks okay with little fatness, but then it gets fatter towards the top. It reminds me of the worn die strike that happens on the 2017 cents where the 7 gets heavy in the bottom.

    Or it just got smooshed a little and flattened out.
