Nickels in the 1960s, and to some extent in the 1950s, were subject to extreme die deterioration. Nickel is a hard metal, and requires high striking pressures. During the war years, and for a couple of decades afterwards, the Mint was pretty stingy with the dies. They used them until they were practically destroyed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What you&#039;re seeing on your coin is a late die state (LDS), which means that a lot of the features are going to be fuzzy. I&#039;ve best seen this described as having an orange peel (peau d&#039;orange) appearance, especially around the periphery of the coin. Your coins appears to be of this type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
