1974 Nickel Struck on a 1973 Nickel
Housed in a 1974 Philadelphia Mint Set

1974 Jefferson Nickel--Struck on a 1973 Jefferson Nickel--NGC. The NGC insert does not indicate a grade. The nickel is housed in a 1974 Philadelphia mint set, which in turn is contained within a currency-style NGC holder. Upon initial inspection, the nickel appears to be a flipover double strike, which would in itself be a remarkable mint error to encounter in a mint set. However, the 3 from the date of the first strike is evident, on the reverse of the second strike near the M in UNUM. Toned dusky sun-gold with lavender borders and moderate granularity near CENTS. The other coins in the mint set are normal, and include a 1974-S cent and a 1974 cent, dime, quarter, half dollar, and Ike dollar.
