Owner's Comments

With virtually no silver or gold coins circulating the mint chose to strike 5-cent nickel pieces similar to their 3-cent cousins. Difficulty with the hardness of the metal caused many specimens show cracked dies, clash marks, and other mint errors. This coin Is a proof DDO, a very unusual proof with all 500 coins from one die.
