Hey guys! I got these coins today and was curious about your thoughts. I know the pictures aren't the greatest since I took them with my phone. I don't collect errors or anything like that, but was curious if these are man-made errors or possibly other errors. Is the nickel a "clipped-planchet" or just somebody clipping off the edge. And the dime ??? Did someone hollow out one and then press this one in?
Dime looks like it was "spooned" as in making a ring. The nickel hard to tell from images, my guess is PMD (post mint damage)
I'm pretty sure your nickel is PMD, it looks like it was put on a sander of some kind. The edge does not stick out on a clipped planchet coin, it is usually flat and sometimes recessed. Dime looks to have a spooned edge.
this will help you learn about clips and if yours is. I can’t tell from your photos. http://www.error-ref.com/blanking-and-cutting-errors/
