Over time, the die steel is slowly eroded by the numerous strikes it has made. When struck, the planchet expands in a radial manner and this cold flow of metal is what erodes the dies. Die flow lines are also responsible for luster on the resultant coin. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 6:27 pm No added value, just a sign of a late die state. For pics of a Jefferson nickel with heavy flow lines, see this post. Report this Post to the Staff
