2005 Denver Mint Possible Face Error/ Semi-circle Groove- Un-circulated

#1 Unread post by BigFloppyBeast »

Hey guys, I collect precious metals but not really currency coins. I won this roll of un-circulated 2005-D Jefferson Bison Nickels. The first one I see after pulling the sticker off was the face and a semi-circle GROOVE over Jefferson's eye following down his cheek line. There are actually two quarter circles that almost touch creating half of a circle as you can see. Is this a mint error?

I really need to see the whole coin out of the wrapper but it seems to be from a"coin roll crimping machine" .

Hmm, what is the inside of this machine like? I am curious, I received the roll from a trusted person saying they were un-circulated. Looking at it closely, its not from something spinning, its an indention.

It is UNC, but it's damaged from the roll crimping machine. Trust us, we see this a lot. Your friend just doesn't know either.
