Dimeanique78 New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 11/06/2022 9:12 pm I can clearly see that this coin is a bit off eh? But I don't yet know the error type or name or if there is value either added or deducted. Any help would be great. I would love to be able to name the same type of error, later and with the info learned right here! Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 11/06/2022 9:29 pm @dime, if you are talking about the textured fields, these flow lines are a result of this coin being struck from a die that was near the end of its useful life.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 11/06/2022 10:22 pm Agreed, this coin displays DDD along with Radial Flow Lines from a very worn out die. Collecting since 1972.

Hobbs9 Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 11/07/2022 09:35 am It's sometimes referred to as orange peel and found on nickels in the early 80s. I pulled a number from circulation back in the day. As previously stated, they are due to overused dies. https://www.error-ref.com/orange-peel-texture/ Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2022 12:31 pm Just extreme die wear. The dies could be polished again to remove this or retired. I've seen examples with a lot more weakening of the devices. So I know they do polish them even at this point of the dies life. Note on this die, they rescued it to be used one more time around. Note how the devices are distorted so much more when this happens. So it was up to them to make the call on the OP's dies on that die pair. Report this Post to the Staff
