[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2048817, member: 69760"]I can't find this error in the book Strike it Rich with pocket change by Ken Potter. Is this undocumented?? It's not anywhere online either! I found this while doing CRH. Can someone please verify what's here? I already gave it an acetone bath so the black stuff I don't know what it is. This 1940 S nickel looks frosty and very bright! But, it's super strange. - The 4 in 1940 is doubled, and super thick. - There are high relief markings to the bottom and right of the ponytail - There is a weird high relief mark between Jefferson's collar and I in IN, - There is a "halo" pattern going around his portrait. On the reverse... - The same halo is around the building - The S mint mark is thick, with something coming out of the right - Double die letters - A squiggly protruding error above the letter O in OF - Full steps? - The CA in America is very strange! The bottom part of the C is short and the A is super thick. Anything else?? What is this worth??
