<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 970226, member: 16269&quot;]These are examples of common flaws found on Canadian nickels. None have any premium value. I have found hundreds of different examples just in a few dozen rolls. Considering this, just think of how many of these there are out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are seller&#039;s who will take coins with common defects like die chips, die scratches, machine doubling, etc. and sell them to new collectors as scarce or rare errors. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue">The first two are die chips on the back of the beaver. They are found in various sizes and shapes. Just about every roll you go through will have a few nickels with die chips. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/bkchps2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/bkchp3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue">This is similar to the 1957 &quot;bug tail&quot;. This is on a 2001 nickel. No demand for it, no added value:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/tlchp1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue">This is blistering that I found on every nickel in about 20 rolls of 2007 and just about every 2008 I went through. Not an error:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/blstr1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue">This is &quot;extra metal&quot; around the &quot;G&quot; and down to the waterline. A nice large die chip but again no added value:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/barantonio50/water1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Blue">This one has a long die chip along the length of the tail. I kept two as examples and put 200 - 300 back into circulation:</span></p><p><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/barantonio50/tail2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
