I found a 1996 nickel with an attached 6. Are these common?

Not really common, it is a Die Chip and hard to say how many were struck
between the time the chip occured and the die was retired.
Does have some value in uncirculated condition.

There's interest for this coin.
In fact, it's part of a nice progression serie with:

1) attached 6
2) attached 6 with die chip over T of cent.
3) same as #2 + strong die clash observe/reverse (a.k.a: Crown over the Beaver)
4) same as #3 + nice Observe die crack on the D

There's a challenge to get all of them, espacially #3 et #4

A good discussion here (but in French).

Thanks for the information and for letting me know about the challenge. I will keep an eye out for #2,3 & 4.
