okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 10:11 am I think most of the lightness showing on the obverse is "drawer wear" .. not really from a drawer, but the side that was down wherever it was kept. The "damage" that seems to show on the Obverse is classic indication of a weak strike, where not enough metal to flow into the deepest parts of the die. That also makes the hair appear worn. Look at the fields .. this hasn't circulated much. Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 11:48 am Thank you everyone for your replies. In truth, the scan seems to have effaced all of the hairlines that are apparent in hand. I tried to have my daughter photograph this nickel (and a 1951), but this is what I came up with.
