    Found this 1973-D nickel with a split die while roll searching.

    Wow, Nice die crack. I bet that one didn't last long after your coin was struck.

    I second that. It would be nice to find other coins that were struck before and after this coin (and I am sure there were not many that came after this one).

    Awesome find!!! That is the whole reason we search rolls. I agree that it would be great to find one before and after especially if that die let go and split.

    Really nice find. Another error that seems to be seriously under-appreciated from a market standpoint. Frequently they are confused with split caps.

    I think I have a brother to this one, but I may be wrong. I'll look. I know I have a 1980, but it doesn't show the shifting we see here.

    It's also straddled by a retained interior die break, or at least an area that sank in and is almost completely surrounded by a bi-level die crack.

    I have found dark bronze colored Jefferson Nickel 1973 d. I believe it is definitely a error in two ways. The coloration and the u in the word PLURIBUS. It been circulated because of a few nicks and thin scratches which is a golden color. Please help is this rare or just a nickel. Sincerely JC please any respond would be greatly appreciated. jinskimfob@gmail.com

    JJC, here's a response, you really need to start your own thread instead of tacking it onto a totally unrelated thread that is over a year old.
