Yea that is cool but weird. I have been though the mint and the process. There is almost no way that nail could get in there unless someone did it on purpose. Makes you wonder how many more weird coins are out there waiting for the right day to bring them out..
Got to agree with Steve. Some bozo on staff had to have brought a nail into the mix. No way it could otherwise happen. Oh, and try and trace a nail!!! Good flipping luck!

I think they make these type error coins on purpose and hope they get thru to the general public. Keeps the coin collectors energized to be on the look out for these type items. If the error collectors had nothing to look forward to..kind of like a detectorist with no place to hunt. Error coins are good for the hobby.

I agree with you fully
While I'm sure there have been/are some legitimate error coins that make it through the inspection process, I think your theory is correct in the bulk of cases, especially in this day & age. Years ago, before computerized technology, when inspections might've been done by hand, I could see more error coins getting through, but not so many, anymore.

I guess with inflation penny nails are out and dime nails are the replacement? LOL

Good one

I agree as well Sven and Joe. How does a random nail get onto the press and then out into circulation... I don't believe it was a mistake.
someone needs to take out a old mold or w.e they use..of like a 3c and put it on a Sacagawea blank or something crazy like that!
That'd be pretty funny....lol
Thanks for sharing
I agree with Sven, but that is pure crap. Not a coin in my opinion.
