Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2910263, member: 10461"]Here is a (dateless) Buffalo nickel I dug up, early in my detecting career.  It appears to have a die break (cud) on the reverse.  Note the raised area where "F" in "FIVE" should be.  There's another apparent crack/cud near the top of the Indian's head.  I'd have guessed a lamination on that, had it not been for the filled area around the "F" in "FIVE" on the opposite side. Regardless of what the actual error(s) are, and the fact this coin likely has very little numismatic value as-is, it was a fun find. <img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/7a7FwR7JSQKU5Lb1Bmpg_DD-013-coin.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/TWMIB1EnQ76h1TbzDWHz_DD-013-detail-rev.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/8JWIz6wlRpuQ7yu3dQXY_DD-013-detail-obv.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> For our next theme, post a coin you found rather than bought through numismatic channels.  This could apply to metal detecting, coin roll hunting, or circulation finds, whatever - even just something you picked up off the ground.  It can be something nice ... or nasty.  Just any kind of coin you found.[/QUOTE]
