nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15419 Posts	Posted 02/25/2025 05:30 am Nice looking SMS nickel. Too bad about the diagonal hit across the steps. Very clean photos - although I don't have any insights into your question. One of our experts will come along and assist.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 02/25/2025 12:58 pm It almost looks like a Grease Filled Die, except it's way too precise and appears across multiple adjacent letters. I can't think of any other phenomenon than Machine Doubling, although there are certainly many rare and unusual types of minting problems cataloged on ErrorRef.com. Report this Post to the Staff
