coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 8:48 pm You can several die events at the same time on a coin. 1. Machine Doubling leaves the outside/inside edges of the devices flatten by the machine. 2. The die was an aged die, thus making the devices altered in the directions of the closest rims. 3. Die flow on the fields is also part of the aging process. 4. Contact marks on the coin from circulation. So many things can affect a coin. Or just one. Sometimes, like this coin, you can see multiple issues at the same time. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 08/11/2022 01:58 am @scrap, can you please add the date and mint of this nickel to the thread? That helps us when we use the CCF search box and are trying to find something specific. Thx.
