Sharkman Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 2:16 pm These are frequently called bag marks, although they don't always occur in a bag. The more there are, the lower the grade, at least in theory. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 2:25 pm if those dots are raised, they're probably die chips, though unusual ones, or if incuse, then just dings from other coins Report this Post to the Staff

Naa.. well maybe.. ok I could be wrong on the reed damage comment.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Joshu - a Pillar of the Community United States 585 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 6:04 pm I don't see how it could be reed damage because nickels don't have reeds. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 9:05 pm no, but quarters and half dollars do have reeds, who is to say that this coin didn't co-mingle? Collecting since 1972.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 9:13 pm Contact marks, aye. Yes, co-mingling can (and does) allow for Reeding Marks to appear on non-reeded coins. Not saying it happened here, just saying it does happen. Report this Post to the Staff
