[QUOTE="jcuve, post: 704932, member: 13945"]The pics are entirely too small and I have no idea what part of the nickel is in question.

As far as the Dealers' assessments are concerned, they may be right or totally wrong. If they don't deal with errors and varieties I give them no better than a 50/50 chance at being right. Try taking your pics using a digital camera with a macro setting (usually on the dial with a flower icon) and getting really close to the area in question.
