    Trying to learn, so I need help. Looks like beautiful normal nickel, but when I look him with magnifier, surface is not smooth. It's this result of grease or dust when coin is made? IMG_20190724_001119.jpg IMG_20190724_000951.jpg IMG_20190723_235321.jpg IMG_20190723_235405.jpg

    A very common effect - as PM98 says, it's
    from worn or overused dies. Not an error.

    Really, really worn! Is that some die transfer I see, too?

    Still a pretty nickel. The surface wouldn't bother me if I were purchasing it.

    Thanks all for answers. So, if worn die is not error, that is mean don't have influence on coin grade or is consider as damage?

    It's not damage - it's a coin struck from
    worn or overused dies. Not considered an error.

    It has no effect on grade.

    I have a question on that. If a worn die mutes some features (steps to Monticello) how can it not affect the grade.

    Steps have nothing to do with the grade.
    They have to do with the strike.

    Steps are either full, partial, 3-4-5, but that
    has nothing to do with condition.
