Brockage,
No FS (over zealous polishing?/other?), {error? or variety?}
Missing mint mark?? ( I don't recall any for nickels but it's bound to happen),
Doubled dies.

 

I forget his name, but why not list the counterfeits that are missing the mintmark over the dome?

I count these in on varieties....but I had forgotten the top one! Thanks!!

I'm thinking about giving awhole page to that dude!

Keep them coming!

Speedy

 

Don't forget off metals. There are nickels that have been struck on cent or dime planchets.

 

Nevermind, I just re-read your list and saw wrong planchet

 

Speedy, how about the lamination errors and struck through errors.

Lou

 

you do have one thing here--what about wrong stock?....has there ever been a nickel struck on another type of stock...kindof like the many quarter struck on dime stock??

Speedy

 

Ok...here is the list so far...

Off Center

Double struck
Saddle Strike
Die Break (Cud)
Wrong Planchet
Blank Planchet
Brockage

Any more??

Speedy

 

My Variety and Oddity guide lists nickels struck on silver dime planchets, cent planchets and on steel cent planchets intended for 1943 & 1943 S cents.

Lou

 

Well...that isn't the same thing as what I'm talking about.
That is called wrong planchet...that means a planchet meant for another type of coin. When talking about Wrong Stock...the planchet is the right size for the coin it was struck on...but the type of stock, or in some cases, thickness is what is wrong. Such as...you can get a Quarter that is struck on a Dime Stock...the planchet size is right for the quarter, but it is as thin as a dime.

Speedy

 

Sorry Speddy I misunderstood the question.

Lou

 

Not your fault...I should have written it different

Speedy

 

I'll check some of my other books later. Have to go to work know.

Lou

 

missing clad layer?

 

Nickels don't have a clad layer...but there can be a clamshell error!

Speedy

 

Thanks!!!
