PokeyCC New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 11:37 am This nickel had what appeared to be dull spots on the finish, but on closer examination there are radial spikes extending out from the center, but not on all of the raised portions...appears to be under them. It is not dirt, but could be damage I guess, but I have never seen the like and not much info available...closest I found is referred to as a "cold metal flow". Both the obverse and reverse are affected, but more evident on the reverse. THoughts? Comments? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 4715 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 1:21 pm I think heavy die polishing as well, since it is in the fields only and not the images. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9029 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 2:14 pm In the second pic it seems the lines affect the lower portions of the design as well as the fields. I think "cold metal flow" helps to describe what is happening here. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
PokeyCC New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 2:16 pm Thank you all for the input! Much appreciated. I think I will keep it just because I think it is neat/different. This group is great! Report this Post to the Staff
castor Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 5:15 pm Hi Look at this. http://goccf.com/t/232932 Report this Post to the Staff
PokeyCC New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 5:22 pm Thank you Castor! That is exactly it. I searched the forums and online prior to posting but I guess my search terms were bad. "Starburst" is a good term for it. The nickel in that thread exhibits exactly the same streaks as mine. Thank you again! Report this Post to the Staff
