CentR Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 01/01/2025 3:00 pm Wondering what caused the 2 different kinds of marks on this nickel? 1. Long east to west striations on the obverse (across Indian's Face) and reverse (across Buffalo's body)? 2. The bumps or pitting across half the Indian's neck? Is it laminations, PMD, circulation wear, or die wear for the long streaks, and one of those or die pitting/rust for the neck marks? Also, what's your estimate on grade?

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4328 Posts	Posted 01/01/2025 3:25 pm Nice DDR! 1. Planchet striations, this coin was very weakly struck and the striations on the planchet are still present. 2. Die Deterioration and die flow, pretty typical for Buffalo nickels. Looks AU.
