Error U.S. 1975 nickel??

Postby Pennysaved » Sun Feb 27, 2011 8:45 pm

I found a nickel tonight that is a 1975. There is an extra solid line intersecting the "7"; it looks like the upper part solid line of the "7" was struck again and is intersecting that 90 degree angle.

I dont have a camera that would take a picture with that kind of detail so hopefully what I am saying is making sense :roll:

Could it be a die crack? IS the line exactly correctly shaped?
