Interesting, nickelsguy. So are you saying that all that extra metal on the date, etc, is Die Deterioration? There are so many nickels from the last 12 or 13 years with that effect I just figured it had to be a plating error of some sort, leaving all sorts of goopy bits of metal around the inscription.
