Description
Saddle Struck Jefferson Nickel
Struck on a Dime Blank, MS64
Undated Jefferson Nickel--Saddle Struck on a Dime Blank--MS64
NGC. Ex: New England Collection. 2.3 gm. This multiple mint
error began its life as a dime blank. It skipped the upset mill,
which would have given it a rim and promoted it to planchet status.
Instead, it was fed between two sets of Jefferson nickel dies (a
single modern press can have several sets of dies), with each set
imparting a strike approximately 85% off center. One of the obverse
dies was blocked by a nickel planchet (not included). The force of
the hammer dies caused the center of the unstruck portion to bend,
hence the "saddle" error nomenclature. A scratch is noted on the
unstruck portion of the reverse.From The New England Collection of Error Coins.
