<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Farns, post: 465165, member: 16124&quot;]Was just browsing the error coins section, and though I&#039;d hurry and toss up a couple of pics (and I still suck at taking photos!!!) and see what you guys think.&nbsp; I can only think that Dad must have hung on to these thinking they were valuable error coins.&nbsp; I may never know!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a nickel from 1962 and a 50cent from &#039;72.&nbsp; Both are a hair smaller than they should be.&nbsp; Substantially thinner as well.&nbsp; The 50cent is weird, if I thought that coins were made by die cast, I would think that not enough coin material got injected into the mold.&nbsp; But since they are struck, I can&#039;t imagine what might have gone wrong.&nbsp; The whole coin is copper looking, with just a flash of silver on the obverse.&nbsp; My photos probably don&#039;t show it really well, but they are also a bit &quot;blurry&quot; too.&nbsp; (the coin itself, not just my picture.... I hope you know what I mean)&nbsp; I shot them next to normal coins to hopefully show the difference. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here are the pics, lemme know what you guys think!&nbsp; (dang, it won&#039;t let me upload more than 5.&nbsp; Ok, the 6th was just another profile shot showing the thinness of the nickel, which is inconsistent from edge to edge.&nbsp; REALLY thin on one side, only partially thinned out on the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
