Same characteristics, first just the near rim round, and now also full side. Some how, some where someone play with two cancel Dies who Denver Mint sold in sets (coin and Die). Sad to see this.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97089 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 8:40 pm I highly doubt that they are roller lines or even Feeder Finger Damage either. they are scratches from the abuse that was applied to this coin.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 09:10 am There's no doubt in my mind some of this is PSD. Fake or altered nickel dies seem like a lot of effort (if any of the nickel dies were made available by the US mint). I did find this about the mint selling dies and NGC encapsulating them. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/articl...celled-dies/ Quote: Wouldn't roller lined be parallel? That's my understanding but do believe other lines can show up from the production line. The way the lines disappear at the rim seems "off" for PSD. Maybe the quality of the images makes it look like some of the lines "disappear" under the rim instead of going up onto the rim. Anyways, people do get creative in destroying coins so most likely it is the cause. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 11:08 pm Assuming for the moment that this is a genuine error, there are at least possibilities: (1) struck through "grease" on the obverse and an in-collar uniface strike on the reverse; (2) a low-pressure, in-collar uniface strike. The squared-off "rim" on the reverse face is incompatible with both scenarios. The lack of weakness in the interior of the obverse design, the relatively strong obverse design rim argue against scenario 2. The fact that the interior of the reverse face is flat as a pane of glass argues against both scenarios. The scratches on the reverse are likewise consistent with a coin that was altered outside the Mint. So, the totality of the evidence indicates that this coin was monkeyed with outside the Mint.
