[QUOTE="JDRMCB, post: 4892542, member: 71403"]I was looking through some old proof sets for errors a while back and I initially found a 1971-S Proof cent [URL='https://www.coincommunity.com/dictionary/coins_d.asp?define=DDO']DDO[/URL] so I cracked the set open to get it and when I was carding up the rest of the coins, I discovered this rather intriguing nickel. I have never seen anything quite like this before! I don't know what kind of error you would even call this. There seems to be a raised partial U (or other partial letter or design element) in the middle of the second U in UNUM on the reverse! The closest error that best describes it to me would be a "dropped letter error". Everybody usually pays more attention to the obverse on their 1971 proof nickels hoping to find the “No S“ variety and most people probably just glance at the reverse at best. To me it seems to be a die issue of some sort, if so, there should be more of these out there somewhere!!! I'm hoping someone else has found one and can tell me exactly what I have here and it's rarity. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! JDRMCB[/QUOTE]
