Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 11/28/2017 12:40 pm Both of these nickels have the same question. There appears to be a ridge just inside the rim that makes the letters almost fold over. The first one also may have reverse trail die. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Making the raised line on that area of the field. Looks like both dies were treated the same way. Or it may just be die wear on that area of the dies. Report this Post to the Staff

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 11/28/2017 1:46 pm Just another question that's been bugging me. When does a die gouge become valuable? A few to speak of the 05 Buffalo nickel,the Sacagawea dollar,the flying bird quarter. But most are not,Why? Report this Post to the Staff
