Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 2:11 pm I started going back through my huge pile of nickels and found this one that (to me) looks like Monticello is on fire. Strange (again to me) that the LDS is on the reverse only. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 2:17 pm Massive die flow lines, the outer devices care right at dies edge...need to take a poll, how many more whacks this die had left, 1, 10, 100, 500! May even be FS(Faulty Steps)! Edited by Crazyb0 09/07/2017 2:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 2:24 pm Looks like more of the issue with die wear making waves there. A lot of coins are struck in the VLDS numbers. On cents here is an aprox. number of strike per die: This die probably was used a lot longer. There are no cracks or other issues. So it may have been used a lot longer striking more nickels. Perhaps 10's of thousands more until an even made it retire. Report this Post to the Staff
