[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3985015, member: 77413"]I am following my under-$20 purchase with an under-$5 purchase. I noticed that my 1960 nickel not only has noticeable machine doubling, which I like, but also has a big planchet flaw right on the cheek under the eye, which I like less. (I showed the doubling [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/posting-jefferson-nickels-in-order-by-date.322759/page-11#post-3224731']in another thread[/URL].) [ATTACH=full]1049295[/ATTACH] I sent away for a generic "choice" 1960 for a few bucks to replace it in my album. What I got was pretty nice, and nicer than what I had. [ATTACH=full]1049296[/ATTACH] The strike and steps have more definition. Overall the coin is more pleasing. Darned if this one doesn't have its own planchet gouge - but this one is on the back under the second U in PLURIBUS. Given the lack of metal for the die to work with, that U did not get filled out and is weak, disappearing into the gouge. [ATTACH=full]1049297[/ATTACH] I dunno. Maybe I need to actually spend more than $5. Or maybe I can just appreciate this for how it was made.[/QUOTE]
