Found this nickel while hunting. Can the team confirm or deny if this concentric lathe lines. If it is, does it hold much value? It looks like a parking lot coin.
Thank you!

They do look like lathe lines, which is neat, but any value will be negated by the "parking lot" features.

Interesting find, but it's unfortunate about all the damage...

Nice concentric lathe lines. A keeper but I see no added value because of condition.

What for better examples of these coins from that die. I agree lathe lines. Damaged eats up any premium for this coin.

When they die blank wasn't polished, these lathe lines will show on the coins struck with those dies.
