Nickel Nutz Update

All 7,300 nickels have been separated by year/decade.  As I sorted I picked various coins of note.  Here are a few of the fun ones:

Off Center, not by much, but I like it -

This last one seems more like damage to me.  Hopefully I am wrong, but in reality it seems more like damage to me -

You’re right, the last one is just damage.   
The first one is a MAD, not an off centre strike.

I agree with both of these statements. Monticello almost seems like some of it got chewed off.

On the first one, it is MAD, but just be aware it is not misaligned enough to grade as an error. NGC won't classify a coin as MAD unless it is far enough off that parts of the design are missing or incomplete such as half of some lettering or missing lettering or date numbers. I like it though!
