wrongnumber Pillar of the Community United States 559 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 12:12 am Found this one today & was like what the! I knew I've seen it before somewhere & it end up being on wexler's site listed as WUFO-001. Has anyone ever found one of these or has it been determined how in the world this happened? A bit rough looking but sweet to find something obscure like this. Enjoy ! Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 12:22 am Very good find! Keeper for sure. If I'm not mistaken that is a lathe line. And yes, that is a WUFO. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongnumber Pillar of the Community United States 559 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 12:27 am A lathe line ? Didn't see that in the description. Actually didn't say much at all about how that happened. It is raised, so I guess it cut to deep in that circle while being engraved/hubbed etc Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 04:48 am My thought is a left over lathe line as well. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75424 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 09:42 am Wrongnumber, try giving your coin a 100% pure Acetone soak. It will help improve the surfaces on your coin without harming it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongnumber Pillar of the Community United States 559 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 12:32 pm I did already, it's beyond improvement. :( Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 1:35 pm In the Numismatic Glossary, the term LATHE LINE is not listed. What exactly or how does it happen. I understand How a lathe works, but not how it can make that flaw ? Dan Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 12:49 am A gouge in the stock material that was deeper than polishing would remove, could survive the hubbing process. The 1996 lathe lines shows this can happen. Edited by coop 12/14/2018 1:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 04:19 am Coop, your photo is labeled 1996-P and the coin is a 1996-D. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
