2 phases of same error on 2004 nickel?

I've been collecting the 2004 Peace Handshake Nickel to examine for DD. I Think I may have found 2 phases of a struck through error. Is this anything/ collectible?

I think you have two dirty coins. They don’t match up at all for it to believable that they’re in succession.

 

They are indentations in the metal. Let me see if I can find better pictures. I am going to look for markers today.

 

Do NOT marker your coin. I can see just fine what you mean. I’m just telling you that it’s not a progressive struck through something. Think really hard about the minting process. How would something change its form sooo drastically in milliseconds? It couldn’t. Unfortunately, you have two very circulated, dirty coins. Sorry.

 

They were marked for my own reference and saved to my gallery. Sorry.

 

Ooooh. You meant something on the obverse. Yes, that’s struck through grease. Cool find, but likely not to find any premium.

 

I just like how it looks like a speech bubble or one of those old religious paintings with the halo streaks lol

 

Don't think successive, think progressive. A grease strikethrough could produce a whole string of examples each slightly different as the grease gets thinner or possibly a little carried away with each coin struck. You could have two examples in the progression separated by time that could look significantly different. You wouldn't much difference between two successive strikes, but two coins separated by fifty or a hundred strikes? I'm sure you would.

 

It is grease struck through and/or excessive polishing issues on the die from what I see. I have seen much of this sort of thing on quarters, primarily, but also on other current coins. They seem to maybe mostly be on the post-2000 coins, so I have been attributing it to some sort if polishing problem rather than struck through grease, though perhaps grease building up has it's input, too. I you want, save your two nickles and start looking at the current quarters, and see if you can correlate it to that.

 

That is def. What I meant! Progressive! Wasn't clear thank you for giving me the right wording! Because of the placement of the strike through and one of the funny shapes on the back I am SURE it came from the same die. I know I can find markers to match them up... If my toddler ever goes down for her nap, that is... lol

 

I think the confusion was that I thought he was trying to show those dark spots on the reverse. Those are not and could not in any way become what you described. Once the OP showed better photos of the obverse, I realized there actually was a grease strike through. My comment was only intended for the spots on the coin I circled in my photo.

 

I understand and not that it matters but I'm a she

 

My apologies! Typo, because I checked first.

 

I just opened a $50 mint bag and looked through... I have found about 50 examples of this and they are in the same location... some more pronounced as others but same location

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood!

Your photo is not good enough for me to be able to see much of anything. You need better illumination. Did you use a magnifying glass for the close-up? You should show us the whole coin. ~ Chris

 

Thank you, glad to be here.
Sorry for the poor photo..and yes unfortunately I was using a small magnifying glass as I don't have anything better..on top of that my phone camera is all I have. I will try to get a better picture and post
