2001 D nickel. with puzzle like damage?

#1 Unread post by bigbird »

Hi. Found this 2001d penny with multiple small crack like gouges. Unsure if this is just a sidewalk coin, just regular circulation damage or what. The damage appears to blend almost entirely into Jeffersons face. Just unsure if it is worth saving if it is a weak planchet with multiple cracks or just circulation damage. Reminds me of a puzzle somewhat. Thanks

2001 D Lincoln Cent?
Your post shows a 2005 P Jefferson Nickel... :dunno

The "markings" on this coin in your images that make it look like a 'puzzle' are called "contact marks". They show up on the coin when it gets banged around during circulation.

Ok. Thanks Daniel. That is what we kind of expected. Guess it was the puzzle like pattern that had us wondering. Much appreciated.
