I see (remnants) of the lettering in the flattened area
In general, a MAD should 'look' at least like a 3%-5% Off Center on the obverse. The OP's nickels are not significant enough of a MAD to have...
I'd be glad to do it, Joe.
It's been caught/jammed in a counting machine......damaged.
Conder101 - you beat me to the FIDO ! I leaned it as Freaks, Irregularities, Defects, and Oddities, back in the (old) day.
It's been 'buffed' on the reverse side. Not an error.
That's damage too
Not 'copper wash' imo. Looks like, as mentioned by Joe, enviornmental damage on the surfaces - stained, by any other name.
I don't see any doubling. I see a damaged ('hit') on the 3, and some small 'ticks' on the motto, but no doubling. ...and the cent is harshly...
I'd range it at least $225-$250 due to the grade, which is the highest I recall seeing for this error.
The 2nd and 3rd photos shows mechanical/ejection doubling, but I don't see that on the other photos; however, based on the photos with the date...
I think I can see the 'cut and tear' marks on the photos, but they're still a bit blurry.
Damaged in that area from a 'hit' from something, after it was in circulation. Not an error.....
That photo doesn't help - too dark, too far away. I can't see the inside of the clip well enough. Try another edge shot, but much closer up, so...
The coin is damaged, and isn't an error of any type, imo. The 'mis-aligned' obv. appears to be a flattened rim from the damage.
Not wear - but damaged
Joe, that NGC coin is a good example of how I describe genuine vrs. altered zinc cents: 1. If it's dark, dull and grey, it's been de-plated 2....
I believe the 1968-D Cent clip is genuine. There is a soft rim 'Blakeseley Effect' opposite the clip, and although I don't see any metal flow at...
It's a Small Date.....they used to be worth somethin !
Genuine struck thru - probably the term 'thread' is the best, as we don't know exactly what the item was on the planchet when struck.
Separate names with a comma.
