    Hey George,

    That would be post-mint damage, either by someone playing around or a counting machine/washing machine. Seen plenty of them. The great news is that it's still worth face value ;)

    Green18 +1!!! Only the left side of his face when the coin is flipped.

    Legend has it that, when he is needed, Chuck Norris will reappear on the reverse of a 1964 D Jefferson Nickel to save the world from disaster. Of course, in that legend, the first thing to sprout from Monticello is his beard.

    I agree with STL and a coin counter.

    Well, all I can say is that you've obviously not looked at that many coins.

    Has you dine so, then you'd know that these are marks left from a coin wrapping machine which uses a circular movement to crimp the ends of the wrapped down.

    No offense intended but this is quite common post mint damage.

    I wish I could say "Neither have I" but that would be incorrect. The coin is damaged, plain and simple. It also has circulation wear. This coin made it to the end of a coin rolling machine and with the wear it looks as if you can see a face. If you stare at it long enough, you'll see anything your heart desires.
