<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 355666, member: 12965&quot;]Both reference coins saw much more circulation than mine, hence, their lines wore off some. As to cleaning, usual cleaning does not leave perfectly parallel marks (raised scratches) on both sides. If you used a scotch-brite pad and rubbed it back and forth &quot;perfectly&quot; then you might get similar marks but they would be inward scratches and not raised scratches. Try and come up with a way to leave raised &quot;scratches&quot; on a nickel and it has to get the ENTIRE surface, including crevices (i.e. - inside the loops of lettering)?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; :smile</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I read somewhere about someone faking error coins (spooning, perhaps)? See if you can make a nickel exhibit roller marks (raised scratches)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
