I recently got a bank box of Jefferson nickels and found some good coins and this one had me puzzled. any help on value or what type of error or variety would be appreciated.

Are you sure it isn't glue or something?

 

No I was referring to the top left of the coin,
The extra "e" it looks like nothing I've seen before

 

Yeah I see what you are talking about. Your picture is a bit blurry. Is it possible to get a clearer picture?

 

It almost looks like a portion of another coin was struck on top of this coin

 

what does Obverse show.

 

@paddyman98 what say you?

 

Uploading pic of obverse now

 

It looks like all you did was enlarge your original photo and crop out a portion of it. It is still blurry. You need to take a new photo, crop out the extraneous background and then resize the image to give us a better close-up.

Really weird! It's shedding it's skin? It ate another nickle?

 

*nickel. Let’s not try to get fancy here...

 

Since @Fred Weinberg is back from Long Beach, perhaps he has some input...

 

Interesting. But that E looks different from any other E on the Nickel. I don't think it was originally from the same coin.

 

Yes. It doesn't match any of the E's on either side.
Someone had to put it there, since it didn't come from the dies, or
from another nickel, then it would be reversed?
I like it, but I suspect it was manufactured and not accidental.
Is Fred on teh intra webz?

 

I hailed him in post #14

 

Is it raised or incuse? Looking at the shadows, it looks raised.

Does it look like the 'E' in the word dime on the reverse of a Roosie (upside down) to anyone else? If it's incuse, I think someone cut up a dime, and did a vise job. If it's raised, then this could be really interesting.

 

This is definitely manufactured and not a genuine piece that came from the Mint.

If you look at the bottom of the fragment, you can see where something (a rounded-end tool, like a Phillips head screwdriver) was used to push it down to help forcefully bond it; there are several different indentations as if to push it down several times because it wouldn't sit flush, possibly even lightly hammered after the adhesive or solder started drying/cooling.

Above the fragment, there is a parallel line even with the fragment, very likely where some kind of gripping tool to was used to hold it while this fragment was attached.

Also pretty sure that "E" is likely from a different denomination and unlikely is the same metal content.

The degree of wear on the "E" is inconsistent with the rest of the coin. Thus, I suspect the fragment is from a piece long after that nickel was minted.

In all, a very sloppy attempt to create an error coin to make some money.
