    Unusual Nickel - Mint Made or Man?

    The back of this nickel is odd and unsure if it was something someone did or if could have possibly come out of the mint this way?

    To me it looks sort of like someone put it up to a belt sander that had a fine or worn out belt on it.

    I agree, that's a sure way to sharpen the belt to your sander
    Remember 9-1-1 and all the Fallen Firefighters and Police Officers. Never forget the price they paid for our Freedom.

    God Bless the men and women past, present, and future who serve this country by serving in the military.

    Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Solider, one died for your soul the other died for your freedom.


    What a shame that scientists will call a cell on another planet "life", but they won't acknowledge a fetus as life until it is born.

    I didn't say that it made sense. I just said that that is what it looks like. I de-burr metal parts everyday on a belt sander after working it over in a lathe, milling machine, CNC mill, or saw, and that's what it looks like to me.
