Weird 1940 nickel
This was submitted to a magazine I suscribe too (see pic below), the
guy said he got this 1940 Nickel from his mother and wanted to know the signifigance of the 3 radials above Monticello. He asked several coin dealers, but none knew what they were. I also couldn't find anything on this online or in any of my coin books. The only thing I can think of is it's some kind of Fraternal organazation's markings, as I have some pennies from Littleton with weird markings I ordered several years ago http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5...dnickelak9.jpg |

Weird 1940 nickel
Are those markings raised on the surface? It looks that way in the pic.

Weird 1940 nickel
Sure looks raised to me too. I wonder if somebody at the mint took an ice
pick or something and scribed those into the die? I agree on the color. Seems off but it could just be the scan. wrote in message oups.com...

Jeffersons from '38 on up to about the late '40's were prone to getting larger die breaks like that due to them still not quite sure how to strike nickel content coins without ruining massive amounts of dies in the process--but this one is highly unusual. ??? Could be wrong. They usually don't look as immense as those so I have doubts. You might try this site here and see what they say-- www.coneca.org |
