[QUOTE="Earle42, post: 2840770, member: 78261"]Was it really so hard for someone to explain the details to this new person rather than just say yes or no? Then some told him that if he knew how coins were minted, then he would know. Great - How about educating the guy right here? Instead people just expect him to take their word for it, and the guy ends up getting a bad taste in his mouth about this hobby and the people involved.:banghead: I am glad I started on a different forum where people are wanting to mentor. In case he would happen to come back: That ring of marks around Jefferson's effigy is not part of any normal nickel's design. The dies that are engraved to make this coin design do not have this ring of marks or that ring would be a common occurrence. This is proof that something was pressed or hit onto the face of your nickel beause the design had to be punched into the coin after the mint..
