folcan99 Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 10:12 pm Definitely dont circulation wear and tear. If you look at the edge of the coin in the reverse, you will see the greas die but more so underr the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 10:49 pm It's not a Grease Filled Die. It was struck from a very heavily worn die. It seems that they used dies extremely long during the mid-1980s because nickels like this are quite common. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 10:59 pm See how everything flows toward the rims and details are mushy? Classic signs of VLDS (very late die state). Report this Post to the Staff
