<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 315726, member: 4626&quot;]Due to economy of scale, it probably wouldn&#039;t be profitable to fake a 1969 nickel unless you had the ability to make a HUGE amount of them.&nbsp; Unless someone did it for a motive other than profit, maybe someone tried it just to see if they could?</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, there&#039;s the possibility it&#039;s genuine but just damaged, or a late die state, or something of that nature.&nbsp; Would love to see a pic if you can manage it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any nickel 1968 or later should have a mintmark on it so that does seem a little suspicious.&nbsp; (Starting in 1968 all Philadelphia-minted nickels used a &quot;P&quot; mintmark on the obverse.)&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s an error, or a fake, or someobdy filed the mintmark off, or it&#039;s damaged, or something... there&#039;s many possible explanations lol... if you posted a pic I&#039;m sure trained eyes could narrow it down.</p><p><br /></p><p>The irony is a notable fake of a 1969 nickel may be owrth more than a genuine one to some people lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
