Sent coin. Came back MS64FS. When i sent coin in I noted the spaceship. On invoice sheet says noted that he or she sees it. So why is it not noted in their page and when I log in to pcsg its not noted. I want to sell but no info on it confused.

Welcome to the forum!
Your spaceship is a hit on the coin, it was not minted that way.
It's post mint damage (PMD)
That is why they did not note it on the holder.0 -

@fish1967 "I do know this it happens where minted"
It did not happen at the mint and is not an error. It's post mint damage.

It is not doubling from the base of the pillars.
If you look closely you will see pushed up metal on both sides of the cut/damage.1 -

Damage is not an error.
Also damage can happen at the mint (though it is rare) but it is only an error
if it happens during the actual striking of the coin. There are only certain things
that can happen at this time and what you have is not one of them so the
alternative is that is is damage, nothing more, nothing less.1 -

I see the alien spaceship.
The US government says that there aren't any so the mint being part of the government will deny the spaceship on the back of your Jefferson.

Welcome
It is not an error, it is damage, that is why it is not noted.
What during the striking of the coin do you think could have
happened to create this “error”?
Also please include the year of your nickel, this can sometimes make a difference.
Like the others have said, it's a hit (damage).
It just coincidentally happens to look like a flying saucer there.
Not any kind of error, but fun, as a conversation piece.
Interesting that it came back MS64 FS, though. Guess the graders gave that little mark a pass.
confused I payed and sent to pcsg, but they say or detail nothing about it. I do know this it happens where minted I have no Question about that, but how and why nothing noted from them. My dad has thrown coins in a box for years for the grandkids. I retire out of army and pick up the hobby. I'm new to this so if asking in the wrong place please advise. Before I retired in my line of work 15 T when checks are run on your work if something is wrong.
mistake. To me a(mistake or damage) is when the Headman let the Helicopter fly. The (Mint ERROR) was going out of mint and into my hands. So, I'm assume I'm wrong or wouldn't be posting this. The year of Nickel is 2021.
So, hit damage. I agree to that. At Dever mint. Pleas exam the spaceship and the area around it closely and then look at bottom of pillars, I am thinking the ERROR or damage happened there.
Total waste of money to send that coin in for grading.
Does that spaceship go into the coin or come out of it? or is it a small one that was stamped onto the coin?
I cant Really tell looks to me into.
if it goes into the coin, then damage. A spaceship punch could have easily made that. Have you ever seen a trade dollar with a chopmark?
If it's showing a raised image, of the craft, same as the pillars are raised, supply close up photo's, to show this pattern.
I Have looked several times, to me appears not punched. Then again that's why I sent it in to professional. It being in a capsule this is the best pick I can get unless I take it out of capsule. As of this Friday
my friend will own it. Thank you all for the reply's on this coin, been fun and have several more coins to post in the future.
