Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6476 Posts	Posted 05/14/2025 9:57 pm I see these marks on current Jefferson nickels with some regularity. I had always assumed they were just bag marks, but on other threads, folks have described similar features as strike thru events. So which is it? Report this Post to the Staff
