2023 P Jefferson Nickels

[V.B._Rick]

Just picked up a new roll of 2023 P Jefferson nickels and out of a roll of 40 I found 9 with the same error. Not sure if this is a die problem or an engraver problem. Between Monticello and the word Monticello you will see what look like cuds but the same cud error on 9 coins in the same roll? Feedback appreciated

Hi, Very interesting. I can not say for sure. You found 9. I would have to go with engraving error of some sort. If it is incused I would go for some type of strike through. I have some 2021 D Lincoln shield cents that all have the exact same strike throughs on all the coins { 40 } + It could also be a cud but from the pix. it looks nice and rounded with no die cracks. So I would lean away from that.

Thanks Frank, That was my first reaction that it was just a cud but after I found 9 I'm thinking something on the die. In that same roll I found a couple of cuds on the pillars with the same pattern and a couple with the same clash marks. The whole roll is 2023 P in brand new uncirculated condition so I'm ruling out someone hitting the coins and altering them. I'm new to the forum so I don't know if I should submit the pictures for Attributions. They haven't posted any errors for the Jefferson nickel in 2023. Guess I'll wait until they do.

Might be a die clash. Turn the reverse upside down and and observe if you can see part of Jefferson's face.

Thx 4 the tip but I couldn't see anything like that.

Hi, is that a die clash above the E in MONTCELLO ?

Cuds are associated with touching the rim. Maybe you mean die chip?

To me it looks like it might be a die clash. Here is a link to Mad Die Clashes typical die clash for this type of Jefferson Nickel: TDC-5c-2015P-01 : Mad Die Clashes

Hey there I have gone through OBW`s in the past, and these came from my fathers and mine surplus , from estate auctions, were I would come across identical Die Cracks and Die chips in one roll. One come to mind and I have them still in my collection is a set of, ready for this? 9 LDB5L+ Skirted R. remember the Die producing these anomalies will for 1,000`s of coins until such things as Die Clashed are polished or worn off. Very nice finding such a high volume in one roll to give your collection a Boost Just a thought to put out there. I will post one of the 1960-D LDB5L+ I found soon.
