Hello, while going through saved change I noticed a 2010P nickel with a sword or spear like object going through Monticello. It is raised and very prominate, not groove or scratch like. I will attach some pics . Not sure if maybe it was made over the Buffalo error coin or something else. Any help would be great. Thank you
It's either a die crack or something stuck to the coin, such as solder. Pictures are too blurry though.
Thanks for your help. When I click to view pics they are clear. Idk why they are showing up blurry. It's bubble like not like a cut or crack you can stick your nail in. I appericate your responses.
When I click to view the pictures they are clear. Not sure why they would be blurry to anyone else. I'm new to this site so if you know how to prevent that I will try and fix that. Thanks so much
This one is clear but too small. You need to crop around the nickel so they appear bigger when we click on them. Otherwise, they just show up small...
IMHO.. Post Mint Damage. You can see another area in the word PLURIBUS with some strange marking right above the area in question Not an error
Even after looking at the new photos, my impression remains the same. It looks as though the raised metal was moved into this position due to after strike damage as opposed to being formed when struck. Of course I can only go on what little I can see though.
I'm with @BooksB4Coins on this one. It appears to be damage, and the raised area on the right side of the mark is just metal pushed up and out of the gouge. Chris
