Hi, I came across this coin when I was checking out my pocket change, does anyone know what type of error this is?

    It's the "Comet Z" variety! image

    (Or the "Flaming N") ?

    Nah- it's Mister Z went skiing and had a wipeout. You can see the skidmarks. image

    Looks like the 'bou is cutting the z's.

    In all seriousness I haven't a clue, a die break or clash perhaps?

    What's on the other side opposite the 'N'? That would tell whether it was a die break or a clash.

    There isnt anything funky on the otherside of the coin as far as I can tell.

    Are the marks raised? If they are, it's a die crack, if not, then it's prolly an after-mint mod (damage)

    The marks are raised and the metal flows from the letter N.
