interesting coin, don't think I've seen similar from the 1980s, I'd guess a combo of grease and Die Deterioration |

My first thoughts were PMD and then circulated to wear it down some. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash? Download and read: Grading the graders Costly TPG ineptitude and No FG Kennedy halveshttps://ln5.sync.com/dl/7ca91bdd0/w...i3b-rbj9fir2 |

Greetings, first time I've posted to any forum, so I apologize if this post doesn't conform to the guidelines. I just found this 1984 Nickel and have no idea what this discoloration may be. Could anyone provide any insight to what this might be. Thank you very much. Tony   |

This nickel was struck on an abnormally hard "pristine" planchet that had bypassed the annealing oven. Here's another example:  Error coin writer and researcher.

Abnormally hard planchets aren't necessarily pristine as there are other reasons why a planchet might resist plastic flow. But as far as I know, all pristine planchets are harder than normal. Except zinc planchets, of course, which never go through the annealing oven and, as a consequence, lack tumbling marks.
