chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 8:35 pm I picked up a nice little nickel collection in our last coin club auction and it had this nice '53 SF. When I got home and took it out I saw the lines coming from the denticles. I saw on coinsandcanada they have a photo (better than I could capture) and they call it trails. What exactly is this? Die Deterioration? Here's the link to the image on coinsandcanada and it looks the same http://www.numicanada.com/medias/pi...3-trails.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 10:51 pm Not scratches. I was the first to describe these (as noted on the traildies website) but I'll be darned if I know the cause other than it is in the die. One of my favorites is found on the 2005-P Minnesota quarter with a Doubled Die Reverse showing as an "Extra Tree". The trails are striking on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 11:54 pm Wow that is very cool and great pics Koinpro. The appearance of it looks like the metal got pushed up and out the top of the trees in the direction of the clear field but that extra tree is something else. Report this Post to the Staff
