It is a different nickel from the six that I found with this.

OMG - really? what do you expect us to do with those images?
OK, How about a full coin image, cropper to the edge of the coin and large enough for us to see detail of the coin, not which direction the wood grain of your table is oriented?

This effect has been called the "starburst effect". Some view it as a form of Die Deterioration. Others see it as a breakdown of some sort of surface coating. It's possible that some starburst coronas are due to the first cause and others to the second cause. Error coin writer and researcher.

I think I have a couple LMC with something similar to those. Spiking off around the memorial building. |

Never heard of the 'starburst effect' before, Mike is this the same as 'radial flow lines' or is it a different cause?

I did, I understand berms very well, berms are a piling up of a material - I used to make lots of them when riding my bike in the desert to help me make high angle turns.
From what images I could see on the OP's coin, I don't see berms, just the flow lines.
My question was to see if what we call 'radial flow lines' is the same as what Mike Diamond called a 'Starburst Effect'. You see I think they could be the same thing as the die wears out and stretches and contracts from the pressure during the strike.

I do not think they are. If you read, it says there is not deterioration showing on the coin otherwise, with the berms, the radial flow lines are a direct result of Die Deterioration. The term Mike used is in the berm definition. -makecents-

Not sure now. It mentions an either or situation in the definition and then I found this in the link below. A bit of a loose term.  -makecents-
