The type?.. It's called a non error. Damaged IMHO Please show the entire Obverse and Reverse! Show the edge also.
A large burr was left on the edge of the blank after shearing it with dull blanking dies. The burr was rolled over the planchet in the upsetting mill, and then it was struck into the coin in the coining chamber.
@ToughCOINS That's why I put IMHO.. I want to see the entire nickel and see if it could be what you think it is. That's why I keep telling the poster to show more!
As noted, the foil folds over and is coined atop the planchet. It separates and creates the distorted image you have there. That's a fun find!
@paddyman98 I don't know guys. It screams Post Mint Damage. Rim damage. I have a dime that I posted with a similar appearance. Could of this happened at the Mint fella's?? I think not but what do I know. I go based on my experience here. So, if I'm wrong it's y'all faults.
Sal - take a look at ‘finning’. I’m certain you’ve seen it during a CRH event. Your dime may be a specimen that had a large fin that folded over and was coined into the surface. As described above, this happens during the blanking stage when the clearance between tool and die is too large and burnished material forms the fin.
Sorry to bother you, I was just wondering what should I label it? And does that error adds anything to the value?
Good question. The material fold over might occur a few different ways. I took a quick look at Error-Ref.com and did searches under 'foil' and 'finning' but neither definition seemed to fit. I would think that it depends on how the extra material was produced. As for a premium, I think that there is some. How much may depend on how significant the error is. I've seen this a few times during CRH events, so it happens enough. It may be as common as finding a rotated die, so perhaps that might suggest what premium to attach.
