Post your nickels

I like the consistency in color and grade across the three coins. That doesn't stop me from having a favorite - I especially like the 13-S.

A couple of more hard to get Buffalo's. This time from the San Francisco mint.

 

This one from a capital holder 1942 birth year set. Rim and top of Jeff's head took some hits.

 

This die probably didn't last much longer after striking this nickel. Die crack starting at the "B" in LIBERTY and going all the way through the head to the feather.

 

Need an education in full steps? 1987 P & D

 

1988 P & D

 

The 1989 P &D

You'll notice that the serial numbers run in order. Any information on the slab and Segs at this time peroid would be appreciated.
Also notice how each pillar is graded upper left 4 digit rating. 6666 , 6555 etc....
Picked these up yesterday....no brainer @ $ 1 ea. !

It looks like your nickel may have come from the mint that way. If you look at the reverse under OF you see part of the O in the rim. I have seen more than a couple nickels with this type of mint error. There is a name for the error but it eludes me right now. I point this out because I believe the obverse is part of this error.

 

Oh wow, I will have to look into that! Thanks for pointing that out!

 

Rim-Restricted Design Duplication. Like I would remember that. Here is a link.

I will definately be taking a closer look when I get home in a bit. That is so cool! You guys amaze me there really isn't anything you all haven't seen!

 

Also some duplication on the rim adjacent to Liberty!

 

Picked this up today for $7. Labeled by LCS at UNC. I think it is a weak strike... the C in America...monticello...Jefferson's bust are either weakly struck up or it is wear...nickles are just so hard and I have a long way to go....

So picked up the 1987 UNC Set for 7 cents less than face value. So essentially got this Philly nickel with FS for face value! Photo taken through packaging so some of the marks are on the pilofilm (or whatever it is called).

 

It is weakly struck but look at the step detail. It might not be full steps but it’s awfully close. One of the many reasons why I don’t like strike designations.
