First 2006 Jefferson Roll - Fanged Jefferson? :)

bhartman35

Hi, Everyone.

I went through my first mint roll today (2006-D nickels) and I couldn't find a single one that didn't have some kind of ding or scratch. (I've got a roll of 2006-P's to go through still, but I'm not hopeful.)

I did, however, find a curious coin. Jefferson looks to have a "fang" on this one. It seems to be caused by a blob of metal between his lips. See pics:

Here's the whole obverse, showing the effect:


And here's the culprit (whether it's cud, damage, or whatever, I don't know):

find one with a die crack on the obv and call it "Jefferson on crack"

I've gone through 100's of rolls and pulled four for grading... They all came back PCGS MS66FS.. I am thinking there will be less than 10 total graded MS67FS.

I've still got the second roll to go through. But I'm not hopeful. I don't think they're worth enough for me to send in for grading, even if I find one that's flawless (which seems to be a tall order).

Jefferson just has "cold sore" or "fever blister".

I'd be interested to see if that's a trait in other 2006 Jeffs. That's the only one like that I've found so far.
