<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorenCoins, post: 3558830, member: 73708&quot;]I&#039;m glad you took it as a well natured comment, to which it was intended! It didn&#039;t come across to me that you were asking for opinions on what these were, but if I had to put in my 2 cents, I&#039;d say they are rather modern to exhibit circulation wear to such a degree as shown on your nickels. I believe a little bit of <a href="https://www.error-ref.com/struck-through-smooth-viscous-material-grease-oil/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/struck-through-smooth-viscous-material-grease-oil/" rel="nofollow">grease filled in the die</a>, resulting in the mushed details. I also feel that the dies may have been worn down from striking many coins, as I believe I see a little bit of <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/orange-peel-texture/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/orange-peel-texture/" rel="nofollow">&quot;orange peel&quot; texture</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I strongly recommend checking out the hyperlinks I left, they (and that site in general) are very helpful for identifying what you may have found, as well as understanding <i>how</i> it is that your coin ended up looking the way it does.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
