Dramatic Embedded Staple Error
1936 Nickel, VF30

1936 Buffalo Nickel--Embedded Staple on Obverse--VF30 PCGS. At first glance, this appears to be a moderately worn 1936 Buffalo nickel with a checkmark-shaped area of discoloration on the cheek. Closer inspection reveals that the "checkmark" is made of a different type of metal from the rest of the coin, and is in fact an iron staple embedded into the surface. An uncommonly dramatic strike-through error.
