Looks like it could be a dropped letter. It moved quite a distance but it appears to be almost the size of the B in LIBERTY. It appears legit....
I saw that too, but the clips look fresh relative to the overall patina. Maybe that looks different in hand though. And look for the Blakesley...
Have a look at this site and check out the offset in the picture of the strip with the punched out planchets. Multiclipped planchets will...

I had the sneaking suspicion that the formatting wouldn't keep, but I figure that if folks want to save time looking up a date/mm for a quick...
Unfortunately, this didn't keep formatting. Copy and paste this into a Word document and restore the formatting using the 'tab' key for spacing.
Here is a list I used to search nickels (Jefferson, BO = Best Of variety): YEAR RPM BO DDO BO DDR BO 38...
I agree with the damage. For multi-clipped coins, where the clips are is important. Using an overlay, a specimen can be checked to see if it...
Some thoughts - if it had been a missing layer/clad, then the coin would weigh less than usual. Weight is generally a very good indicating...
I'm always happy to get customer wrapped coins. When you hit...you hit!!
I thought I'd offer this for consideration, so I apologize in advance for this different, and off-topic, comment: Here in the West, we are raised...
I notice on some coins of this vintage that along the profile of the bust you can see what looks like a hand engraver was used to sharpen the...
The reverse it true after checking. It's a greaser: "A weak strike will show a poorly developed or absent design rim. A grease strike will show a...
The 2009D totals are climbing much faster than I would have guessed. Interesting. Nice greaser by the way. Both sides is not that common in my...
Nice early Lincolns folks!! Love that chocolate brown toning Razz!! This is a bit of a distance shot, but what I had on my phone.[ATTACH]
Nice find. As alurid states, the engraving for the master changed from time-to-time (as it did in 1969) thus why the look of Lincoln and the...
Correct. Not an error. Common wear-and-tear for a die in service. Some cracks are better than others. A full picture of the coin would give a...
Yeah, it's a misnomer (MD or even DDD). It may date itself back to the Poor Man's Doubleddie of 1955 (which is DDD). The very way a DD is made...
Those 1955 Ps are tough to find. I only discovered that there were two obverse conditions once I started looking at putting a roll of them...
Finding S and D mint specimens is harder on the East Coast...but not impossible. Especially for nickels (and more so on silver war nickels)....
