Mcpix Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I have a high-grade Jefferson War Nickel that was struck with 2 exceptionally rusty and cracked dies. Would NGC consider a coin like this an error? I think it needs preserving. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator PaulS. Posted October 31, 2022 Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2022 Yes, if it is actually struck from extremely cracked dies, it would likely be treated as an error. However, the US Mint has pretty high standards, and I would suspect that the coin might not be an error after all. Do you have photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcpix Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 I do have photos and I will upload them this evening. Thank you for the response that’s good news. And the Coin in question is a 1943S Jefferson war nickel. PaulS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcpix Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Here is a photo of the Obverse. It has multiple die cracks and pitting from the rust. The reverse has a die crack that runs from between the US, through the mint mark, (like a dollar sign) all the way down to between the ES in states. Monticello is covered in pitted remains of rust I believe. Would this grade as an error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
