    Someone went to town on Jeff. Possibly scratched with a tool of some kind. Or, likely, been ran over a few times.

    10-4. Thanks. I thought so myself didn’t know if it was a error.

    It is just a beat-up nickel. slow down and learn about real and important errors. Search for books and articles on the subject before wasting time and eyesight looking for such items.

    What's with the peep hole effect? Spooky. Very worn Jeff, lots of pmd. Time to read up on actual errors. Varietyvista, doubleddie, conecaonline

    A damaged Jefferson... probably parking lot abuse....Get the Cherry Pickers Guide... will save you time and teach you a lot. Cheers, RickO

    Vegas would never ruin a coin like that. We loved out nickels!

    BU condition (beat up).

    If you are just starting out I can understand that you want to scrutinize everything, but it is almost always a time waster.

    While you were busy studying that nickel, I was plowing through rolls of nickels and I found a silver war nickel, a Buffalo nickel, and a small struck-thru 2018 nickel. Those all could have been your finds if you had immediately moved on from that beat up coin. :p (Not literally, but you get the idea ;) ).

    I get the idea you all. And Thanks for the info it always helps. And I did move on. Fount a 1995 quarter with a die crack. I’m learning y’all.

    Whatever works! I have to rely on zooming in with my cellphone - I have not moved up to optics or attachments yet. :)

    This is ALL that matters. If you are learning along the way then no one will be bothered if you post your finds or questions. We all started out in the same place so there is no shame in it.

    Knowledge is power, so the more of it you get the better off you are. And there is plenty of free knowledge from the experts here (that is not a reference to me ;) ).

    BTW - I personally like searching nickels myself. There is the occasional minor error, silver war nickels, Buffalos, etc. I buy them by the box ($100) at the bank.
