<p>[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3144347, member: 92083"]Many first year issues of coin types are often found in much better condition than other dates, especially when minted in large quantities. People tended to save them because they were new, and thus explains why there are so many first year Philadelphia issues in MS grades that are not expensive (1938 Jeffersons, 1913 Buffalo nickels, 1932 Washingtons, 1916 Mercuries, 1909 Lincolns, etc.). So, I am not surprised you found one in such great shape. It probably got liquidated out of someone's collection recently hoping it was worth big money, and after they found out it wasn't valuable decided to spend it...and now you have it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Could be grease stamped onto it. I have seen certified nickels with similar patterns. Also seen mold spots that were removed leaving similar marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
