1968-S jefferson nickel possible error?

#1 Unread post by motumylitis »

ok so I do have a question. I was looking over some of my coins and only this time did I notice that my 1968S Jefferson nickel seems to have swirls in the metal on the reverse. one at the 1:00 and one at the 7:00. ive had this for awhile and when I got it it was in a 5 nickel sized flat coin holder. where ive left it and it still is. so I guess the big question would be are those from post mint or during minting, right? but really all feedback is awesome. im new so bare with me


thanks again

This is mechanical damage after it left the mint and is not a mint error or anything like that.

Yeah, PSD.
But they do create an interesting pattern.
