Cookie0220 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 6:49 pm I am going through all my nickels so I can get them rolled and came across this 1996D. I remember reading on die scrapes I believe is the proper name and when I was looking over this one the images of that article started flashing in my head. On the obverse it looks like die scratches coming off behind the head. On the reverse it looks like die scrapes coming off the top of states of America the bottom of unum and what looks like a D or P by the rim 10:00 between the corner of building and E if I could get a second set of eyes. I took lots of pics trying to hey the right lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 7:06 pm Actually these are called die flow lines. The fields are the outside of a die. The tallest devices on a coin, are the deepest into the die. So as the die ages, the constant push of the metal from the center out to the edge with the die, it make these wear lines. They are not a plus for the coin. (Just as wrinkles are not a plus to a human as he ages) They happen as the die ages, then sometimes polished out several times during the dies life. So they are just telling you, I'm getting older every coin I strike. Spendable. Report this Post to the Staff
