Definitely damaged

 

This is the correct answer..
PMA - Post Mint Alteration
DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged

Not a Mint Error of any kind

 

That's what I thought but what's got me second guessing is that you would figure that if it was damaged that center would have some kind of damage on the outer edges of it but if you look close it's a smooth transition. Y'all think maybe some kind of press did this

 

NAME OAK!

 

It's worth 5 cents if a store clerk can still identify that coin as a nickel at this point.

 

Most definimately.

 

You're trying too hard to "overthink" the damage. There aren't too many ways that errors can be created during the minting process, but there are thousands of ways that people who have nothing better to do can think of to alter coins.

You might want to buy a book on Mint Errors if you plan on continuing in this part of the hobby.

 

I agree. It is, indeed, a coin.

 

JMHO, but looks like that Jeff was hit with a center punch.

 

Welcome to the C.T. Family! Others have already stated what's up with the coin, so I won't add to that, but I will suggest when posting pictures choose 'full image' makess it easier for us to see your coin. Thanks!

 

Thanks for the tip

 

nothing at all to do with the coin in question

Not a good tip

 

Thank you for the opinions and tips greatly appreciate it

 

Not a punch it's the bottom of his hair line and neck.that was the first thing that came to mind

 

That's 5 cents that I didn't have lol
