Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 01:12 am The nose and chin could be from well placed hits( PMD), Machine Doubling, die wear, or any combination of the 3. some of the other photos show flow lines which are a result of die wear. Die wear is extremely common among nickels(especially late 70's early 80's nickels, which I assume this is?) because the metal is a lot tougher than copper or zinc. EDIT: oops forgot to mention Grease Filled Dies, it's a little less common to see than die wear or Machine Doubling, but it could certainly be a contributing factor.
