Tons of issues with 2021 nickel

Post by Gerryinthe6ix » Thu Jan 12, 2023 10:16 am

I accidentally picked up a full mint box of 2021 nickels. This gave me a great opportunity to find anomalies with them. I found about 10% of the coins have exactly the same problem on them. The others are surprisingly pristine.

On the obverse:

1- The front of the Queen's nose has extra material on it and an obvious bulge in front of the nose.
2- There is crud on the "II"

On the reverse:

1- There is crud on the second "2" of the date
2- There is crud on the "C" in Cents along with a die crack forming between the "C" and "E"
3- There is a die crack forming between the "A" and "D" in Canada.
4- A few coins also show some issues with a pit in the "5".
