2018 Die Grooves? by beads

Post by Enyaw » Mon Apr 04, 2022 4:25 pm

This 2018 nickel has what looks like die grooves by the beads around the entire coin on both sides. Could that be possible or is it something else that caused it?

These lines are a result of the die deterioration.

It's called "radial flow lines" or "die grooves".

This is quite common.
