Wow, both of the obverse and reverse dies were overworked. Looks like wrinkly skin. Nice example.

Very cool example of advanced die deterioration--very 2x2 worthy (in my opinion, anyway).

I've always guessed it was a combination of the softness of the metal plus the thickness of the coin that creates those attractive patterns on old-die nickels. Very nice example!
