I snagged this interesting little coin on ebay for $2.04. Pretty sure these are roller lines, as they are perfectly aligned on the obverse and reverse. The mirrored proof surfaces make the lines very visible.

The photos aren't great for showing off the overall coin, these were the ones that best highlighted the lines.

It was listed as just as an ordinary 1987-S proof nickel.

To be fair, I think roller lines are not a big money mint error. I just liked how the coin showcased the phenomenon. A lot of collectors might have avoided it specifically because of the lines through the fields (assuming anyone actually collects 1987-S proof nickels).
