    Agree
    Someone has intentionally tried to cut it.
    Just a damaged nickel worth 5 cents.
    Don’t see anything on your “ spaceship” nickel.

    It seems that your ufo coin has now landed here. Keep it flying around until you get the comment that you like. Lol
    The other coin is post mint damage as well.

    It doesn't matter what cut it, it's still damage.

  • fish1967fish1967 Posts: 103 ✭✭

    You're obviously lying. That's an error. :)

    @JBK If you look closely you can see where I tried to duplicate the spaceship on the pillars, it didn't turn out like I thought it would. ;)

  • A bump from another coin? This happened after the coin left the mint? Thanks for the help everyone.

    I don't know what caused it, but certainly damage after it was minted.

    Yes, it is damage as was told in your other thread about the coin. I know you don’t want to accept that answer, but it is 110% post-strike damage that happened after it left the mint. Sorry we don’t have better news for you.

    Maybe another coin caused the damage or maybe it was something else. Regardless, your coin wasn't made that way . You can believe whatever you want and keep asking, but that's not going to change anything.

    I asked about the doubling on discussion I thought and the other nickel the cut marks.

    I’m not sure what you mean here, the nickel is damaged with cutters of some kind. I don’t see any doubling of interest at all on either coin. I commented exactly to your statement on the 1927 damaged Lincoln cent and directly to your above statement. Either way, both of the coins you have shown are damaged coins with no errors of note or value on either.

    Edited to add - doubling in the letters is most often caused by “machine doubling” and is not a doubled die. Doubled dies are quite different looking and have unique properties. This image may help you with understanding the difference.

  • Sorry wrong nickel

    It is just regular machine doubling and not a doubled die. As others have suggested, check VarietyVista website and you can see if you have a match. Remember, it must match EXACTLY to the referenced coin. Doubling as you are seeing is very common across all US series.

    Here is what a doubled die can look like. Notice the thickness of the letters and appearance of double lettering. This is quite different than the machine doubling, which is a common occurrence.
