<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy-bones, post: 56950, member: 2794&quot;]We found this coin while emptying my son&#039;s piggy bank.&nbsp; I am not an error collector, but I fear I may be becoming one.&nbsp; I have been collecting coins for over 25 years and have recenly become aware of various type errors that exist (caveat--I am still learning).&nbsp; This Jefferson Nickel seems to be an error collector&#039;s dream (or at least a coin displaying various type errors).&nbsp; On the obverse, between the &quot;W&quot; and &quot;E&quot; of &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot;,&nbsp; there appears to be a die crack as well as an extra fragment of metal stuck to the coin.&nbsp; Also on the obverse, through the collar there appars to be another die crack.&nbsp; On the reverse of the coin there appears to be a die crack running through the entire coin from the &quot;M&quot; in &quot;UNUM&quot; to the &quot;F &quot; in &quot;OF&quot;.&nbsp; Also on the reverse there is apparet doubling, most prominent on the &quot;T&quot; and &quot;O&quot;</p><p>in Monticello and &quot;TES&quot; in &quot;STATES&quot; and &quot;CA&quot; in &quot;AMERICA&quot;.&nbsp; The die cracks mentioned&nbsp; are not what I expect to see in reagrds to die cracks.&nbsp; I was always under the impression a die crack created a raised mark on a coin.&nbsp; These die cracks however look a like fissures...actual cracks or &quot;fault lines&quot; in the coin.&nbsp; I would appreciate any and all opinions as to what is actually going on with this coin. Can the mint be this sloppy??&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
