    Is this (1) nickel blank or (2) coins only struck on one side?

    Too bad! In the “ole’ days” people sent those back to the mint as defective and asked for a replacement.

    1 blank with another Buff that was in the roll for comparison...

    I might have to try the Love Token idea..

    I thought for a second there you had a pair of uniface caused by 2 planchets put into the dies at once. But I didn't think that was possible with modern machinery. Not too uncommon in the 18th century. --Jerry

    Dang, they didn't run them through the press the second time to stamp the other side on em. You got cheated.
    Those guys at the mint are getting real careless.

    Me too, except there are two months each year when they rip me three times and again whenever I get a bonus image
  • Cam40Cam40 Posts: 8,146 ✭
    all kidding aside, that is a really great find.
    finding a blank nickel in a roll is pretty dang rare if you asked me.

    Even better, 2009 nickels are going for a small fortune, throw it on ebay as the first 2009 SLUG Nickel! image
