    Hello, wondering if anyone has seen this type of thing and knows where it comes from? I have several pennies like this, but this is the first nickel I have found.

    Yes, I suppose they are, but the pennies seem similar. Any ideas? PMD? Wear and tear? I could try to get some better shots.

    You were closest to the mark at 'wear and tear'; they are fingerprints.

    The Lincoln cents are similar because they are round and copper-colored. However, the fingerprints are different!

    I don't know, looks like the nickel and the last cent have the same latent print :cyclops::):p
