    I agree, very worn die as also evidenced by the textured fields and overall mushiness,

    Also the very evident flow lines on both sides. I can see that coming from a branch mint, but not Philly.

    I must confirm with the above statements, worn dies and poor metal flow caused the extra lines on your nickel not any type of Re-engraving.
