the C-note has the security strip exposed where shouldn't and the strip has paper pieces trapped under it. and right i of Jefferson
has maybe a long die chip running down from it. need insight on both pieces.





thanks

    Welcome. Nice pictures. I’m not the expert but the nickel seems to have something going on. The currency could be posted on the currency forum but there’s folks here who can help. Again, welcome.

  • thanks, yeah that occured to me after after i had posted them both here.

    @dgmartin... Welcome aboard. I cannot help with the $100 bill, but the nickel has Post Mint Damage (PMD) and no numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO

    if you take a knife you can replicate your damaged nickel

    try the currency forum for the Franklin $100

    Are you saying you disagree with the assessment of simple damage? If you do disagree then perhaps you can explain just how this happened during the minting process, we would love to learn from your expertise.

    The $100 note looks like it’s damaged and torn away from the strip. The nickel is damaged and not an error.

    Really where? I see you asking a question but I do not see anywhere that you provided an explanation of what this "error" you see is.

    As you can see it's the same type of metal displacement damage under the eye from a deep scratch as it is to the right of his cheek and into the hair - same type of damage.

    A die chip would not have a valley between the ridges. It's a scratch with a sharp object. Like a plow in the soil, it raises metal on either side of the blade.

    Here, I made you one.


  • metal way more on the eye, on the note im wondering how the paper got under the strip.

  • emeraldATVemeraldATV Posts: 4,718 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Two questions ? ( 100 note, since you and I are here )
    Does the strip break, like this one shows, or am I just not aware of this practice ?
    On the bottom of the strip away from the printed image, in the border, near the cut, on the front, what is that spot ?

    Well first a die crack would be raised not recessed into the surface of the coin, and I have been collecting for 40 years but I have never heard of a die crack donating die chips, lol. The stuff you read on the internet.

  • you have never heard of a die chip on a coin? your kidding right?

    This quite old thread on another forum covers the exact same issue with the $100 bill.

    your getting way to excited about someone with a disagreement. im not saying anything is correct or not just playing devils advocate. thats how we learn. peace bro

  • thanks for the link. already sold it, but ill have a look

  • emeraldATVemeraldATV Posts: 4,718 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Just for giggles, please check any and all water marks on both sides.
    I'm researching another matter, and it could help.
    Are all water marks in order, on the 2017 A, 100 dollar note ?
    Thank You.

  • die cracks are where die chips come from.

  • the note is legit all other security features are present.

    Thank You, Bubba .

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    Your nickel has a cut (PMD) as mentioned by other members, it's not a die crack. ;)

    The link jeffas1974 posted seems to explain the $100 note, torn and folded back rather than under the strip.

    Not really. Die cracks are die cracks. Die gouges and die chips are different. All are damage to the die. None of them look like your scratched Jefferson. It is PMD, whether you are advocating for Satan or not.

    You may want to start over and learn from a respectable source, you're not even close.

    didn't say it was a cracked die mentioned it as a possablity. and yes die cracks can chip off.

    Sorry to be blunt... Either listen to the experts or move on. The people that have responded to you have been studying coins for probably collectively over 100 years... That's just between the ones who have already responded. They know what they are talking about.

    I've only been at this for a little over 6 months and even I can tell you that is post mint damage, such as a sharp instrument, that created that scratch. It is not an error except by human hands long after it left the mint.

    You should do some more studying on what die chips and die cracks are so you can better tell them apart.

    No, they don't.

    Laminations can break off, but this isn't one.

    You can crack a chip, but how should you chip a crack?

    It is possible that crack is involved.

    But they don't call that a chip.

    Either way, none of those things leave a ridged furrow. A knife does that.
