merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/24/2020 02:51 am Are you asking about that dark gray blob around the date and mintmark? I believe that is some sort of chemical or environmental stain. Whether it can be removed or not is of no consequence as it doesn't really matter. This stain is considered damage and cannot be connected to any mint error. You can safely spend this nickel. p.s. - really nice photography! Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff

As for the photography, thanks I'm still learning so I appreciate the compliment! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/24/2020 7:52 pm When the original finish is on the coin (BU) you won't see the rolling lines. But when that goes away, then you see it a lot more. It was always there, but just stands out more. They are called rolling lines. If you look at the opposite side, they will be going in the same direction. Report this Post to the Staff
