I am trying to determine if this is a mint error..

I have a 1974 nickel that appears fine other than the markings. It doesn’t appear this was done by man- and I have someone that has come back to me 5 times trying to buy it $100 increments each time... anything??

Thank you, I was trying via mobile and it would not post so I had to login via my laptop.

 

That is not a Mint Error.. It is damaged

 

No, it's not a mint error, it's just damaged.
It's only worth five cents.

 

I agree, it looks damaged.

 

Take the money and run....

 

Thank you all!!

 

If you have an offer for $500, it might be time to accept it

 

Take the money and be happy.

 

not sure, is that a waffled coin?

 

Welcome to Cointalk
If someone is offering that kind of money for that coin well obviously they know nothing about coins.

So I guess you would have to ask your self would you want it done to you. JMO

I found a cent with the same thing in it.

 

And it is from the 70’s 1970 actually

 

This is what a mint cancelled coin looks like.

 

Very cool! I wasn’t disputing any comments just found it a coincidence we both found one with the same marks that is all

 

That is a pretty common pattern found vice jaws, so not that unusual to have more than one with that pattern.

 

A vice yes that looks like what it is never thought of that thank you
