1973 Nickel 1 1

[Sharann]

Hello again. This time I have a nickel. I still don't have my microscope, of course, but this, I am hoping, can be assessed without one. I am attaching the best pics I could get. Thank y'all again and I am looking forward to seeing what you think about this one.

Hello again- 

That is PMD (post minting damage)

When you see a coin that has been struck in collar and is out of round, then you know it is damage.

Thank you very much, Greenstang. I just knew I'd found something with that one but I DO have a couple more to pull outta my hat and then I'll quit pestering y'all. Going to my mom'snow but will post later. Thank you again!

It's not pestering to ask legitimate questions, especially if they come with good pics we didn't have to complain about (you would not believe the *spoon* photography people expect us to interpret). You'd have a very long ways to go, posting many posts that got the same answer and demonstrating no learning, to reach the pestering stage. From the reply I'm guessing that you'll gain in knowledge and that your later questions will start to be deeper, so it's all cool. Glad to see you joining our hobby. There are aspects of it you might really like, starting with the value of reputation and integrity. (Which not everyone has a good version of either--but we tend to know who does, and it means lasting earned respect.)
