Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 8224369, member: 13307"]Hey, good morning. I'm imaging this 1944 P Jefferson Nickel, and during the process I see that it has something more interesting going on.  [ATTACH=full]1445043[/ATTACH] At first, it just looked like a regular lamination planchet error (on the obverse, right around LI of LIBERTY.)  When I took a closer look, I then noticed two more things: 1) there appear to be a couple "waves" on the top of the coin and 2) there appears to be a weakly struck area on the opposite end (bottom) of the coin. Closeup (from directly overhead) of the area in question: [ATTACH=full]1445039[/ATTACH] Here is the lower edge - as you can see, it thins at the center: [ATTACH=full]1445040[/ATTACH] When I took a further closer look at the coin, I see that there is a bit of metal sticking up and what I thought was a lamination is in fact some metal folded over: [ATTACH=full]1445037[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1445038[/ATTACH] This area (circled in red) is standing vertical to the face of the coin: [ATTACH=full]1445044[/ATTACH] So, we have four things going on I'd love help with "naming" what happened to this coin. 1. What looks like a vertical burr to the left of LIBERTY2. What looks like a folded over area over LI of LIBERTY3. What look like a couple "waves" on the top of the coin (obverse)4. A weakly struck, thinner area on the bottom of the coin (obverse) Look familiar to anyone?[/QUOTE]
