    If so, what a shame.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Is that a gouge or a die crack between GOD and WE?

    Looks like a couple of rim burrs . . . coin should grade without a problem.

    When a planchet is sheared by a poorly sharpened punch, the dull edge pulls some of the parent material from the strip. This extra material usually stands proud of the planchet, like a flag, and is called a rim burr. When the planchet is struck by the dies, the rim burr is then impressed into the design of the coin.

    Those could be, Mike, definitely. You'd not have mentioned it, I'd not even have thought of it.

    I bought a whole album of Jefferson Nickels just to get this one coin.

    I think it's lamination. The area at the lower part of the collar on the obverse is directly opposite the U and the R in the motto on the reverse. The right upright of the U has a jog in it suggesting post strike movement.
    The flap sticking up between GOD and WE on the obverse may be a small area that partially detached and looks like it's laying on top of the D. If it were a rim burr it would have been struck into the D.

    Well I'm sorry to say this but in my most honest opinion it won't grade. As I have sent nickels in to be graded and a hit on the front like this one will send it home in a body bag. The reverse will grade as lamination but the hit on the obv. will be pmd. I say this with tongue in cheek as it's a shame ! One beautiful coin and a key to the series at that! And close to full steps as you can get.
