Is this from die deterioration? I think it looks awesome  I can't capture the image properly with my set up.

I think it had some die deterioration but also the ripples below the 5 look like the plating is not staying tight on the zinc.

Yes Ed the reverse is coming apart already, still looks really neat under magnification its a very ghostly image.

Daggit, and any others who might be interested, There is an auction for 1800+ cents, and nickels, Canadian, '30's, '40's, and '50's.. I can't seem to get a link to " produce", so I'll give you the name of the store: The 1 shop, seller is wsbryanaz.
