<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1766922, member: 15309&quot;]It is not an error, just an uncommon strike effect found on &quot;S&quot; mint Jefferson Nickels. It is known to Jefferson collectors as the &quot;halo effect&quot; coined by Bernard Nagengast, author of THE JEFFERSON NICKEL ANALYST. It has no effect on the value of the coin. Most of the coins showing this effect are from 1939 to 1941 but I have seen it on post WWII nickels as well. Here is a photo of a 1940-S with a strong halo effect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%204%20Sale/JeffersonNickel1940-SNGCMS675FS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
