2016 Large Dot on Log

Post by Enyaw » Fri Apr 29, 2022 9:47 am

There is a fairly large dot (positive relief) on the log of this 2016 nickel. I'm not sure if a die chip could have caused it? but interesting nonetheless.

Probably a die chip. A lot of chips start as a pin head size hole and
increase in size with the continuous striking of coins.
