<p>[QUOTE="KingsAndEights, post: 7104, member: 901"]I purchased a couple bags of 500 new nickels from the mint. 1 bag of Ps and one of Ds. I just finished going through the P bag and I found 2 different possible errors. I found 1 nickel with the UST missing or very very light) from the word TRUST on the obverse. I'm thinking it was a filled die? The other possible error I encountered was what I first thought was a double T in UNITED on the reverse. After looking under magnification, I don't think it's a double 'T' but looks more like a cud? I found 40 (or about 1 in 12) of these total in the bag. They are all very similar. Some are stronger than others but they are all evident to the bare eye. I have looked for similar reports but have not found any. I tried to take a picture but my zoom is not that great and it was too blurry to see (any tips on taking good photos?). I am a novice at best when it comes to errors and would appreciate any input.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
