mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 5:48 pm Many recent nickel dies feature indistinct raised lines on their surfaces. Many pursue a sinuous path. The lines continue uninterrupted from the field to the design, making a die gouge unlikely. More than one ridge can appear on the same face. The only explanation that makes any sense is that these are the impressions of hubbed-in debris. But it's unclear what these thin bits of material represent, why they only affect nickels, and why they're so darn common. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
shathe Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 11:19 pm might be some sort of planchet defect. the defect does not appear on any of the letters. maybe the nickel planchets are particularly crappy? yeah, I have more than an entire roll of the same defect. looks similar but it curves over the obverse, from the bottom through the last digit of 2022. I also have several 2022 specimens that are on the obverse, covering maybe a centimeter. Report this Post to the Staff
