Errors
1964 Jefferson Nickel Mated Error Pair PR66 Cameo NGC. Coin #1 is designated as an obverse die cap. Coin #2 is certified as a reverse die cap. Both coins are identically graded. The planchet for Coin #1 was fed first into the press. Its first strike was normal, but it stuck to the obverse die, and served as a surrogate die for a series of newly fed planchets. The force of the strikes, and the presence of two coins within the die chamber, forced the obverse rim to rise and wrap around the top of the obverse die. The reverse of Coin #1 was struck against one or more planchets, thus expanding, distorting, and lowering the relief of the Monticello. Finally, the planchet for Coin #2 was fed in, and it was struck between the reverse die, and the reverse of Coin #1. Coin #1 has a steep, even obverse rim with three narrow splits. Coin #2 has raised rims on both sides, with five narrow splits. The reverse rim of Coin #2 is only moderately raised except for a steep area near 12 o'clock.
