Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 1:03 pm The area above Monticello has various raised anomalies. So is this MD,Lam, or something else? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 1:42 pm Extreme die erosion above Monticello, heavy flow lines and Die Deterioration affect both sides so it is a VVLDS coin. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 1:46 pm That's interesting. I don't think it is grease and metal particles packed on the die or it would be lower and not raised. The die itself would have to have some "holes" for lack of a better word in the field above Monticello. I was thinking, it could be called the "1993 P partly cloudy day Jefferson nickel". ;-) Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73937 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 7:16 pm I see heavy Die Deterioration making it a VLDS coin. Very common for that to happen and no extra value. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/22/2017 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73937 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 8:50 pm Mark, do the dies wear faster because of the composition of the Nickels? Remember the 2014 nickel with the "Design Creep" error? The "Design Creep" error was do to the die expanding. It's a rare Die Deformation error and has only been seen in single run. Keep your eyes out for this rare error coin. Here's the link if you want to know more about it. http://www.error-ref.com/design-creep/ Errers and Varietys.

Since the 25% nickle alloy would be harder than clad coinage I'd say that would produce more heat into the dies making them break down faster. And the Design Creep nickles are very rare and all have been accounted for - None to be found in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73937 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 9:29 pm Thank you Mark for your answer. I had a feeling that's why the dies broke down faster. Design Creep error Nickels on ebay are selling for not cheap. One selling for 100.00. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/22/2017 9:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
