UPDATE 10 Photo - Error ? Head & Tail on both side of the jefferson nickel

Hi everyone,

I found a year 2000 5c jefferson nickel that head and tail on both side.
one side head on top and the buliding upside down inside out on the bottom.
one side the buliding on the top and jefferson head upside down inside out on the bottom.
some of the word also the same, You can see 2000P and IN GOD WE TRUST inside out on the tail side too.
I have never seen one like this before, if you found something like this on the internet with photo, please let me know.
If anyone know what kind of the error of this coin, please let me know.
Also what's the worst you think

please check the photo of the coin.

Thank you

That is awesome! I wonder if it was a error at the mint, or if you could recreate something like that by setting two nickles front to back and whacking it with a hammer? Might give it a try later today.

Actually, upon looking at it again, this really looks to be some sort of error at the mint. I don't think whacking two nickles with a hammer could create what you've got there.

Way to go! If it is a mint strike error, it is probably worth some $$$.

Looks like a great and rare error - After being struck in the die it flipped instead of being ejected and was struck a second time.

that is a neat mint error...

Could be an error, but how would the obverse, or whichever side it would be, be backwards if it was struck by the die twice? maybe there was another coin under it when it was struck the second time on the same side to make it that way.

Also the reverse second stamp is indented. Whatever the kind of error this is it still looks neat. Hope you are able to find out more info on this.

That is the coolest error coin.

Can't wait to hear what it's worth. Did you notice the 'P' is backwards also?

This is a weird one. The obverse (first pic) looks to have been struck with the reverse die first, then struck again with the obverse die, that’s why the only place Monticello is visible is in the fields of the coin.

The reverse (second pic) looks as though it was struck with Monticello first, and then was struck again, but this time the obverse Jefferson side of another nickel was sitting on top of your coin, reversing Jefferson’s head into Monticello when it was struck.

If it’s a Mint error, which it certainly appears to be, it’s should be worth some major coinage.

I would say spend the money to get it certified as a mint error, it will well be worth your time an money if it comes back as a legit error... maybe worth hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars! as far as the theory of someone struck it with a hammer that isn't possible cause I saw a show on mint pressing coins an they use tons of pressure per square inches...simply something impossible for any human to recreate without a machine !

Thank you

From what I can see, looks to be minted that way! Awesome coin if it is what it is. HH, Mike

I hope that's the real deal. If so, you got some good change. Did you dig it up?

I'm 100% sure that this NOT a mint error. Someone has taken three nickels and smashed them in a vise or similar device. I used to do this with pennies as a kid.

Some of you may wondering where I found this coin, I found this in the bank shotgun roll, and the coin is in normal size.

Thank you for looking

Just not possible.

Take a close, long look at the first picture and tell us how someone could have minted Monticello, in reverse, onto the face of another nickle and somehow not have affected Jefferson's head at all? The only place Monticello shows up on the obverse of this coin is in the fields. There is no way this could have happened and not have adversely impacted Jefferson's face.

Not to mention the fact that nickle is many times harder than copper.
