Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 5:23 pm I have a roll of BU 1973-D Jefferson nickels which I pulled out to examine today. I noticed that nine of the forty coins in the roll have nearly full, to full steps on Monticello as well as a thin line which runs from the reverse rim at about the 9:00 position to the edge of the building. The line doesn't appear on the building but shows up again beneath it, running through the base in "MONTICELLO" to the base of "FIVE" and down to the T in "STATES". There are also thin raised lines above the depiction of Monticello. This is on all of the coins with the full steps. None of the other coins in the roll have these lines. Are these die polish lines? Thanks for any insights. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5685 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 8:27 pm Die polish lines, and that line on the reverse at 7:00 to 8:00 must be a die scratch. Too straight to be a die crack, and it doesn't match the obverse for a die clash. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 11:21 pm Thanks for all the responses. At least I know that nine coins from this roll were all struck with the same reverse die. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
