52,000 Post Celebration

Here is a nice error or a Nickel that I recently picked up for $10.00. I found it very interesting and I didn’t have one like this. A 1955 Philadelphia minted Nickel. Look at 9 o’clock as that’s the area. Also check out under Jefferson’s chin.

At first it looks like damage but one glance at the edge and you’ll know it’s not. @paddyman98 is there a more specific name for this type of error?

Hey! Congrat's on your 52K Post. Nice error also.

 

http://www.error-ref.com/ragged-clips/ Nice coin I believe that's a ragged clip or just a strike through defect in general.

 

Congrats to you and nice Nickel!

 

Congrats on the post # Dave.
Cool coin. Almost looks like a "blow out" if it had been inside the rims.

 

It's a Blow out

 

Rim Burr.

 

Congrats to your 52k posts!
Nice pickup.

 

Rim Burr?is it April 1st already.

 

To me, and I’ll admit I’m a nut, it looks like a lamination error on both sides of the coin in the same area. Caused by the crack on the edge of the coin at 9 o’clock or something to that effect. Could please explain why you believe it’s a rim burr?

 

I don't think its a ragged clip, and I know its not a rim burr.
It is most likely this type of error.

It is a nice error coin, congrats on the posts.

 

Congrats CN

 

I do have 3 ragged clips on Lincoln Cents and they look nothing like this nickel. Thanks for the information.

 

Nice blow out! congrats on the 52 thou, them surprise packages been helpin you!

 

So blow holes can occur along the edge ok i get it.

 

Ok guys.. What happened was I was walking outside in the cold and I thought it was something to do with the Rim and I felt a strong chill and said "Burr"

 

A blow hole can occur in the metal strip the blanks are cut from. A coin blank can be cut into that hole which leave a defect in the edge of the blank. I'm not saying this is why CN's coin looks the way it does, as certainty can not be applied.

You could also just call it "struck on defective planchet" or "Incomplete Planchet"
but nether of these descriptions gives a non-observer an accurate picture.

 

That’s the funniest thing I think you’ve said since I became a member. Now that you’re home and warm any ideas?

 

I’ve never seen an error like this but at $10.00 I had to have it. And as I also said, it looks like damage but obviously it’s not.

 

@paddyman98 great cover did you hit the rim before you got the burr or the other way around? Congratulations on the count and the coin CN. Keep 'um coming!
