Description

1977-D 5C Jefferson Nickel--Reverse Die Cap--MS67 NGC. Ex: New England Collection. The first strike for this 1977-D nickel was normal. However, it clung to the reverse die instead of getting ejected. A planchet (not included) was then fed between the obverse die and the present coin. The subsequent broadstrike created a coin with a diameter greater than that of a quarter. The reverse has needle-sharp central detail and a broad convex rim. The reverse has readable peripheral legends (including the date and mintmark) while the portrait of Jefferson is a blur aside from a fairly evident profile.
