This is a really neat one. I've never seen anything like that on a Jefferson nickel. Did you find this in a BU roll and if so how many did you find?

Here is similar to what you have on a 1996-D cent. In an on-the-floor visit to the Mint I was told by Augustine A Albino - Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint that they thought it was due to the Denver Mint having some start-up problems with their new die shop and not polishing out the lathe lines completely from the die blanks. This is the coin I took into the Mint for the one-coin-exam we were allowed. It was submitted to me by Mike Weimer on 4/27/1998.

Learn something new all the time : ) thanks everyone

Ken: I found it in a roll of mixed circulating coins from the bank, so unfortunately no more than this. I also looked up more about the lathe lines before your post and found an explanation that cited you as a source of information about the error.

I think it's maybe 2008D-5C-LL-002R on http://www.errorvariety.com/Lathe-l...CLL002R.html
It's so difficult to tell by the markers, but there is a 50% chance unless this is a new variety of lathe lines for this year/mint
