Hello everyone! Here are some 2015P anomalies that I found in a single box of nickels (not all were 2015) I obtained while I was in Florida. I have seen #1 before, but #2, #3, #4 are new to me. How do we explain these anomalies? Personally I think #1 and #2 are very slight DDR. However #3 and #4 leave me clueless. At first I thought maybe lathe lines, but neither originate in the center and they are both in different locations. #1  #2  #3  #4  |

the last 2 could be die clashes, is there anything on the reverse in that area that fits the bill?
Feel free to call me Will.

No rotated dies. There also isn't anything perfectly round like that on either of the dies besides maybe the "O"'s in "MONTICELLO" and those are too big to be the circles

It is a raised circle and every one that I have seen is just left of the center of the door and very near the top of the door. Still Lookin.

Stoneman, I'm pretty sure lathe lines originate in the center of the die though. These circles are also in different positions which also made me think it's not lathe lines

Hey BlueSolo, I have a lot of 2015 P Nickels that share a similar anomaly in the doorway. I've found 18 of them so far and they match with die chips that are on the "S" in STATES on the reverse. I will share with you one of the photos I posted on here about a week ago. Though the anomaly I've found has a tooth, fin, or icicle like shape. The circular shaped ones look pretty cool.  |

Just a quick look at one of the new nickels and without a centering jig I think that location is quite close to the center of a nickel. As to the slightly different locations of the anomaly, isn't that the whole premise behind the modern single-squeeze era of doubled dies. That the first kiss of the hub to the die blank can be slightly misaligned, thus , allowing the center of the die cone with unpolished lathe lines to first hit the hub in different spots.

That's fine with me stoneman :D At the very least, if it's determined not to be lathe lines, it can be listed in the "Visually Related Errors" category on the site.
I'll hunt around for any other indication of lathe lines
