I just found a 2008 Canadian Nickle, that appears to be in almost mint state, except it has three lines running horizontaly across it. The lines are equal distance and look like a perforated line.

here is a link to picture -You must be logged in to see this link. (back of nickle)

The fact that there are no other marks make me think maybe it got run through something at Mint. Hard to explain.

Anyone ever see one like this before?

thanks

Interesting. I've never seen one like that. Sure looks like it could be a mint error but it could just be damage. Maybe testing for making the nickel divisible, break off a chunk to give 4 cents change? It cost you just 5 cents so worth adding to your oddity collection.

Looks like it got forced through the system then ran across some cogs on it's way?
