Thanks for the update . I know about these but have never owned one of them.

 

Damaged by a grinder so the weight difference was ground away.

 

If it was done by a grinder there would be nothing left of that poor nickel

 

Don't think of a large bench grinder but a small hand held one.

 

Dremel

 

I think they are WELL aware of that.

Some will pick at the silliest stuff, and not answer the Q........

 

there are several more examples for a "wrong planchet" nickel other than being struck on dimes and quarters.

There are lots of other options for a nickel to be on the wrong planchet other than just nickels and dimes. Foreign planchets (The Philippines), 1 cent planchets, $1 planchets, and foreign objects (steel washers), to name a few...

 

Thanks for posting these. They are some very nice errors, some of which were new to me.
