1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Introduction

#1 Unread post by CurtPowers »

Hello, I'm Curt from Georgia. I've been collecting coins and other things since I was in the military in the 70's. Traveled all around the Pacific on a ff in the USN. I have coins from around 20 countries that I visited. But the 1 I need help with is a 1944 p war nickel with what appears to be a die chip in the word america, on the reverse of the coin. I'm not sure?? Any info would be appreciated.

Also these often have some lamination peels from impurities in the alloy but that is common.

It is damaged and could have been punched with a blunt object or maybe a BB gun or pellet gun.
