2018 P Jefferson Nickel with handles on building. 0

[RReynolds]

Hello, I am new to collecting. I found this nickel in a roll. I don't know what it is or if it is worth getting it graded. Need a little insight.

Welcome to the forum.

It appears that it has a small die chip on each end of Monticello, and the missing detail on the top left of the window to the right of the right column could be a filled die, or might just be a hit on the surface. The same with the missing detail just to the bottom right of that same window. The spot at the top of the portico, above the second column from the left, looks like a contact mark, as do the marks on "I" and "V" in the word "FIVE." (and a few other places).

The die chips and filled die (if that is what it is) are considered errors, but those do not look significant enough to garner much premium. It is a nice looking Jefferson, though, and if I found it in circulation, I would certainly keep it as an interesting piece.

Thank you for the welcome and the knowledge. I have found several other coins that I think are errors.  I also found a 1999 P nickel in the same roll but the 1 is missing, so the coin reads 999. What type of error would that be?

Die chips..

Thank You.

I think your 1999 nickel is a filled die error.  Some grease or other junk filled the numeral 1 in for a few strikes, producing your coin.  It could be a die polishing error as well, where some workers at the US Mint were re-polishing the die to get some more use out of it and accidentally obliterated the 1.  My gut says filled die though.  And the others are spot on with your 2018 nickel.....definite die chips.

They both look pretty cool, I'd say.  Sometimes even minor errors can cause an interesting appearance in coins.  Those are pretty cool finds!

THANKS!! I found some others coin to. What do you think this  error is?
