    What are these darker lines on coin? Is this a planchet error or is this normal? received_2379485038846729.jpeg received_501798400541339.jpeg received_595986111154208.jpeg received_2502271533204080.jpeg

    My best (and only) guess is that you have the nickel equivalent of a copper woodie.

    Minor improper Metal Mixture, imo

    aka 'streaked planchet' or as kanga
    said, it's comparable to copper cent 'woodie' streaks.

    I agree with kanga and Fred. This seemed to have happened a lot in 1948. Set it aside. You’ll come across more of these. In fact, CRH enthusiasts can probably attest to seeing this quite often.

    You should keep that one as it was cheap and it's a fine example of a nickel woodie so to speak. The lines are due to an improper metal mixture.
