I always thought it was grease and metallic particles and general grime gets built up on the dies. I gets packed so hard that the design is filled on the dies. I don't know about grease on the planchets, I always thought it was on the dies. I could be wrong.

I think your coin has a large area filled but better yet, I like where and how it is filled which makes it more interesting to me.

I think it is significant for both reasons. Large Grease Filled Die and that it covered the IN GOD WE TRUST.
In the history of US coinage and currency notes, this has been an issue from the start.

There is always objection on subjects like this.
You could call this the atheist nickel. I must again, without any provocation, state that I find your nickel very interesting but personally, I prefer that the motto remains.
It does not make me right or wrong, to each his/her own.

Thanks TNG, you're right about the objections, but certainly not me.

Thanks for more discussion on the grease.

Not nit picking but once again I want to state that the term
"grease filled" seems to be used 99% of the time when in reference to this nickels anomaly. I use the term "debris filled". There are many types of debris that could come in contact with the die/dies. Actual grease could well indeed be the culprit but not always. Anyway, this is still neither not an error or any variety for sure. A debris filled die can be
the obv., rev., or both. They still look neat anyway. I actually have found lincolns with the original remnants of the debris still present on the coin itself in the area of the filled die. The pressure of the strike actually caused
the debris to be adhered to the coins surface somehow and stay there even in the long run.

This is interesting because I have a 2004 nickel that looks exactly like yours. I'll have to post a picture of it soon.

See ... I thought that there might be others. I have a few BU rolls of 2004 P nickels with the Peace theme and am tempted to open them. If I see Mitch's picture, I probably will.

I'll post mine later today, similar to this....searching nickel rolls for full-steps and errors...few and far between..best find is a 1981 RPM D/D sent to Dr. Wiles for attribution....I need a good source for BU rolls that are unsearched(good luck)...anyone care to share their source, feel free(I know sharing THIS would be less for YOU, but, thought I'd ask)...most ebay sales by dealers are searched...some private family sales of like "Uncle Joe's" collection sometimes can pay off from ebay, but, some seller's add that to boost bids, so, gotta be careful there too...it's a crap shoot, somedays the coin Gods are on your side, other days not...the hunt is what keeps me going. I buy them at the banks for the most part..you never know when some kid rolls up dad's collection, and trades it in for Red Bull money!

Mine seems to be a bit heavier on the grease. The date area has to be tilted just right to make out the date (even though the reverse is a dead giveaway).

Thoughts?

These are my favorite nickels ever made and it would be awesome to find a roll of these that are all struck through debris or with any other type of major error.
