Jefferson and Lincoln on the same Nickle

I found this in my change. A 2007 D minted Nickle which is half penny and I can see Lincoln's forehead, eyeball, nose and lips and part of his chin, as well as the D mint mark from the Penny. Interesting Nickle. What a find! I'm new at this. Let me know what you think. Obverse: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhgB_ORAh0mjrDaBPUyVSWgVMiRZ?e=HGTX3c

Welcome to CT. Could you please post pictures in full size. Many members will not open a link in case of viruses and you will get more people viewing and therefore more replies to your question

 

yes this please. it's as easy as a drag and drop on your desktop to this typing window full pictures are preferable over the thumbnail option... mostly because we are all lazy and don't like closing picture windows.

 

Welcome to CT @Lady D. As stated, and a sore point for me, posting Full Image photos is a good idea. Here is my spiel.
You should always post FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it. Always show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows, and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.

 

I don't know how to play golf, so I don't do links.

 

@Lady D this is what they are talking about...welcome to CT

 

Well I don't see what @Lady D is seeing saying she sees Lincoln. But it is interesting.

 

I start at the N I see Lincoln's whole face, well, his side of his face just like on the penny. His lips are almost even with Jefferson's eye level.

 

Happy to do so if I can figure out how. I'll try to post a photo

 

Thank you. I also think I see a D mint mark from the Penny near the bottom rim of the penny.

 

I'm just not seeing anything like that at all.

 

I think you are mistaking Tommie's hair as Lincoln's profile.

 

Lincoln faces right... on the US Cent...

 

Lincoln is facing the same way as this chewed up penny.

 

Lincoln is facing the same way as on this chewed up penny. Looks like a 1985 I think.

 

If the penny's obverse were impressed right-side-up against the nickel's obverse then Lincoln's image would be [as impressed on the nickel] facing left. An upside-down impression creates a right facing Lincoln.... I'm in over my head, here.
Someone left a URL to One Drive that allowed a blow-up of the nickel for details, but that UrL post had vanished.

 

I understand completely! I just haven't seen anything that resembles a second face. She needs to annotate a picture with what she's seeing.

 

Here is another picture with arrows of the forehead, nose, eye, mouth and mint mark I think I see.

 

Your coin is environmentally damaged.

A nickel planchet cannot fit into the coining chamber for a cent, so even if you think the indistinct marks might vaguely resemble lincoln, it could not have happened during the minting process. Hope this helps

 

I wonder how two different metals can get on one coin from the environment. weird. The nickle side is shiny bright, the penny side is brown like a penny.
