<p>[QUOTE="DJP7x0s, post: 317485, member: 5336"]Hello, I have a 1961D Jefferson Nickel. Its clearly an error, but Im not sure what the error is called. I can try to take a picture but am hoping I wont have to. And I dont think I would be able to capture what Im seeing with a photo. Anyhow, I think the error was caused from the blank not being seated properly in its collar. But it also appears as though the dies may have been slightly shifted. Both sides of the coin look normal, but the edge is where the error is noticeable. Its like the obverse edge, mushrooms out and over the reverse edge. But that mushrooming is much more pronounced at one side, but not very noticeable at the other edge. It kind of starts real heavily at one edge, then discipates as you near the other edge. Im leaning more towards being struck out of its collar than shifted dies, but what is that called and does what I have fit the description????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
