2020 nickel variety

Coins | CoinHunter

Hi I am new to this and just want to let you guys know about a 2020 Nickel variety that I discovered. Before Covid-19 and the coin shortage, I got 3 boxes of coin to hunt through, I got one box of quarters (Hoping for one of the new W quarters but did't get any), one box of nickels, and one box of pennies. I found out that the nickel and penny boxes were brand-new 2020 P coins and then I decided to keep the penny box sealed and but it away and look through the whole nickel box for errors/varieties and found 2. I found that around 10 rolls of the nickels had a small cud in the first 2 in the date and that some others (around 4 rolls) had a cud in the first 2 in 2020 just like the first one and a slightly larger cud in the last O in Monticello on the reverse. I called the first ones "single cuds" and the second ones "double cuds" I got rid of the first ones because they were so common and kept the second ones. I also found out that you can find them in your change if you have a jewelers loupe or a microscope, just look for 2020 nickels and check the last O in Monticello on the reverse, you can usually see it with the naked eye. Thanks for reading my first blog!-CoinHunter4

Im filling away this info for a later date when I can roll hunt again! I Love these coins that arent "rare" per se, but are interesting nonetheless. Cheers, NM

If you get a couple 2020 nickels in your change you can always check them for the error, they are pretty common.

Nice putting some away for later, imagine opening them up 50 years later. Nice blog.

You don't need a high power loop . NGC uses five power and moves up. . I agree with the 0 . But to me and this is a picture looks fine.. Lots of luck with both. . Keep those eyes sharp. The fun is in the hunt!!

Nice finds! It's a good idea to tuck away the 2020 boxes, because imagine finding a box of BU wheat cents that someone else had stashed away. Hopefully we can get back to coin roll hunting soon!
