that's it i swear

 

Thats better.. Looks to me like a wild combination things. Planchet problems, Die problems, and I take back what I said about not being post mint. Looks as if theirs post mint thrown into the mix also. A crazy mix...

 

my first two thoughts are either a wild strike through, or some glue on the coin.

 

I would call it blunt force trauma from the US minting process. As you can tell idk anything about what kind of error, but someone else will chime in shortly.

 

I agree a struck through....and alot of other things going on also would love to be able to put it under a loop to see better.

 

It looks like glue to me.

 

I think its a mixture too. I thought it could be glue but ive never seen glue eat away at a coin and still have the actual impression of the image clear. Too me it seems like even before the planchet was struck the planchet itself was messed up. I was thinking of selling it on ebay but I couldn't let myself. It looks too cool! :-D I wonder what is worth...

 

First I would simply get rid of the glue using acetone. This won't hurt the coin. Then you will see what you really have.

 

I know its not glue...I went 250x on the coin and can tell quite clearly.

 

Struck through cloth?

 

Pennyman702, could you show the whole nickle, both sides, please. Thanks. zeke

 

Wild looking coin pennyman, wild.

 

I would say glue also i see some little bubles on the areas were you indicated I indicated in red were there is evidence of glue and you could see the flow also.

I took off all of the glue and the coin is still the same...this is so stressfull hahahaha. You guys are so much help!

 

Could you please show us a picture of the whole obverse side and another picture of the whole reverse side so we can get a better idea just what your nickle looks like. Pictures of bits and pieces of your coin leave much to be desired. Thanks!
