What Causes This On A Nickel? Different Years.

Thanks, @silviosi @Khromtau !! I put them aside. Here's a closer pic. The marks go all around the Coin. Sometimes skipping spots.

The rolling company may have a messed up machine. If every Coin is this way. I thought that, wasn't sure. Still not sure. You'd think they would have some sort of Inspection of coins post roll to make sure they aren't being damaged though.

silviosi, everything I find says blanks are still punched out on a blanking press, do you have any information on this laser cutting?

I am confused too, on the US Mint website it says they are stamped out on a press. Maybe in Canada they use a laser?

The beveling along the top and bottom of each coin rim is normal. It's put on to help with seating and ejection in the striking chamber. It's also one of the first features to wear on a coin that's circulating so it's easy to miss.

The vertical lines on the edge of the rim are signs of a worn collar and are actually more common than many people think because we so rarely examine that part of cents and nickels.

Not sure where you got "random marks from circulation" out of my response and a don't know what you mean by "the reverse portion of the collar".

The vertical marks on the rim of the coins are from a worn collar, not from circulation. The collar is what holds the coin in place when the dies come together to strike the coin.

When the collar sustains wear, usually on it's top or bottom edges first due to ejection of the coin, that wear is transferred to a coin at striking in the same way reeds are transferred to a quarter or dime.

The link above will show you a much more severe example.

I really don't think they laser cut blanks. That would take seconds to cut out one blank, where it takes a fraction of a second to punchout hundreds of blanks, and the cut marks would be numerous. I think these marks are as Khromtau says, tool marks from a dull punch press die.
