    Is this normal for a 1978 nickel? I can't find anything online and my books do not have this type of Jefferson nickel. I'm guessing it is normal but I'm not sure. image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Looks like a clip with a slight "blaksley effect" on the opposite rim!!

    Check ebay to see what nickels with similar sized clips go for. Nice catch but now you're on to nickels? Needed a break from penny boxes huh lol

    I certainly understand it's easy to forget such things, but sometimes the simplest course of action is also the right one.

    Actually, that's one my husband had in pocket change. I like a break sometimes too though!

    Wow, a clip in pocket change. That's unusual. Especially for a 40yo clipped coin
