Hi, this is my first attempt to post on this site, hope all goes well! While searching some rolls I found this cent. The circles appear to be made pre strike. Any thoughts on how this happened? Looking at the close up picture the lines run right up to and across the leaf.

PMD,if it happened pre strike the line would not run across the leaf.

I agree. Post mint damage since it literally crosses the devices to the open fields.

As an aside, you CAN get concentric circles on open fields of a coin, but only in US coinage - as lathe lines. Canadian coins will often have parallel lines in the open fields as die polish or micro-relief to facilitate ejection. Check out some cool US lathe line coins at:
