All your posts have basically been all the same. "(date) Jefferson error Nickel"
You need to start stating exactly why and where you see this so called error. I recommend you study the following sites. Error-Ref and Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties These two sites will help teach you about what a variety/ errors coin looks like. I cannot stress enough how important it is to not just read the sites but to study them in depth, until they are seared into your brain.

I also suggest that until you learn the above and what can and cannot happen to a coin at the mint. You need to stick to looking for known errors. You will find what the TPGs will recognize as varieties on the PCGS. This will save you a lot of time in having to take photos and then posting them, only to told it is not what you think. The last I am recommending is Glossary of Error Variety Terms. This last site will help understand the terms we use, also it will assist you in helping us, by being able to explain what you are seeing and why you think it is what you think.

Spending time at error-ref.com will save you and us a lot of time. When you are finding something it takes time to take pictures, make a post, and wait for answers. But spending time at error-ref.com to learn what actual errors are will help you be able to easily identify non-errors. It is well worth your time so you can ID these types of things immediately and get on to looking for real errors and good stuff!

We want to help you learn how to ID this stuff for yourself. This is the mission of this forum.

Please take note of this and understand that point. 😊
