a new GREAT FIRST---bobblehead Michael Jackson nickel--- no neck & nose falling off

poor Jeff is losin' his head & nose. 1965----pretty well beat---but COOL



gotta find a better one to see it was unusual wear or a greased pig

Love it! Seems odd that the rest of the coin has good relief, maybe it is an error

Almost looks like someone started to carve a hobo nickel and then gave up! Very cool find!

Several causes could be attributed to what happened to the Jefferson Nickel. 1) Overzealous grinding and polishing of the Die by a Mint employee to remove damage and/or Die Clashing. 2) Grease built up in the bridge of the nose are of the Die. 3) Planchet Feeder damaged the Die and the damage was subsequently smoothed out by grinding and polishing of the Die by a Mint employee.
