Sandon Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Welcome to the NGC chat board. Please post clear, cropped images of each full side of a coin about which you have questions. "IN GOD WE TRUST" isn't "missing" on your 2004-P Peace Medal nickel. It is, in fact, legible despite, based on the current images, having apparently been partly scraped off along with Jefferson's nose after the coin was placed in circulation. Although it is possible that the coin was struck through "grease" or other foreign matter--a common and minor abnormality better classified as a quality control issue rather than a "mint error"--the coin may now be too "beat up" to tell for sure. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of misinformation about coins on the internet. Please read the following recent article by a prominent coin dealer: Jeff Garrett: Fake News and Misinformation in Numismatics | NGC (ngccoin.com). You should not use a general search engine such as "Google" to seek information about coins. Instead, please refer to the following forum topics for legitimate print and online resources: PaisleyScott and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie15 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 that looks like a coin from a casino. They tend to polish and was the nickels that come out of the machines quite heavily. I was on a cruise ship once where they were so polished you could hardly see any devices at all. just shiney and smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powermad5000 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 The amount of surface wear on this nickel precludes there to be any kind of determination that it was produced from a partially grease filled die. Whatever happened to this coin, it also damaged Jefferson's nose as well. I only see some very heavy wear and what I would diagnose as damage to this nickel.
