A 1940 Nickel witth rays? by CaptBrian1

[CSJournals-migration]

Only my coin dealer knows for sure.

 

I get the magazine 'Reminisce'. In an old issue from 2004, (August/September) page 46, there is a querry and picture of a 1940 Nickel which has rays emenating from the Montecello dome. three of them, one straight up, and two more, one either side of center emenating in about a 45 degree angle away from center. I am including the best picture I can generate from this old magazine and unfortunately, the color is sepia which doesn't help much. Can anyone identify this as real. Even my coin dealer doesn't know for sure.

Looks like some Nickel Graffiti --- Art to me. I can't see the die cracking that even and that wide so I would say small beaded weld lines were added by a jeweler that had extra time on his or her hands.

I guess that makes sense. I was thinking aliens taking over our money or something like that.
