Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 2:01 pm Sorry, but if you took an old nickel into the garage and played with it you could get similar results. Take note how raised areas on the reverse side correspond to the pits on the front. This nickel was laid onto a hard surface, a nail with point cut off (or some other piece of metal that could be used as a punch) was put onto its face and hit with a hammer (or other object) to make the pits on the OBV.

Awesomekt83 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 2:52 pm I sincerely appreciate you guys taking the time to look at it and help me. And originally hat is what I thought as well. If that is the case though, could someone explain to me how the reverse of the coin appears to have been smudged? The reverse doesn't have raised areas, it's flat just smudged. I thought perhaps something was in way during strike. Again I am 110% new to this stuff so I may just be retarded but no raised places just the chips outta obverse and smudged reverse Report this Post to the Staff

If something happened to the obverse while it was in the dies, the reverse die would be in place and prevent the reverses of the coin from being flattened. Report this Post to the Staff
