Description
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.
