PCGS 19xx Jefferson nickel indented by a Roosevelt dime planchet. The indent is close to a dime size, with a slightly larger size because, when it was struck, it expanded slightly in size.

The error occurred when a dime planchet was fed into the nickel press while resting atop of a nickel planchet, and was struck into it. It then fell away, leaving a "dime shaped indent" in the nickel's obverse.

A nice example of the error type, with about 80% of the dime's shape within the design of the nickel. This makes it more obvious and more eye-catching.

This is a very scarce error type, and only a small number are known. An approximate estimate would be that 10-15 nickels indented by dimes are known.

MS62 with nice surfaces and some gold toning.
