This popped up in change - sometimes odd to think how old some coins in circulation are. What was happening at the time…perhaps what it was spent...
You are in the right spot! You are snagging LCS dumps and building out a fabulous collection for yourself. Well done!
I agree. MD.
Nice find! Not a million dollars but still the most valuable nickel find you’ve probably made or will make.
Some interesting reading - https://www.silverinstitute.org/silverprice/1960-1965/
I’m thinking it’s damage due to the look of LIBERTY. Let’s see what others say.

You could be right. Tilted, off center strike for sure.
Yeah, I kind of thought I was hitting on something calling them irregularities or perhaps anomalies. Then again I recall discussing this a while...
Interesting thoughts. I mentioned something similar to Eddie in a PM. While to your point (and Eddie’s too) the doubling is not traditional. But...
Eddie - we are so close to the weekend…woossaa! :-) Fair enough, many of these minor and very minor DDOs and DDRs struggle to deserve an...
Tip: when looking for LWC DDRs, a quick look at the dots in EPU you notice that they will look elongated relative to the class of doubling. The...
General comment: when members post specimens for review, I like standard photos of the obverse and reverse. I think that a number of variety...
It looks like the obverse was struck through a late stage die cap. Then the cent lived in circulation for a long time. The weight is typical of a...
