MintPenny Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 08/18/2023 3:56 pm Hello, I picked this coin up on ebay and think I see the lathe lines on the obverse for the FS-401 variety. I can't be sure because the coin is pretty worn and I'm not sure if I just want to see it so if anyone cares to share their eyesight / opinion I would greatly appreciate it. It weighs 4.6g First five images are of the actual coin I purchased and the last one is PCGS for reference. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by MintPenny 08/18/2023 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MintPenny Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 11:01 am Thank you, I think it is also. Probably won't get it graded, but I'll put it in a 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1021 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 4:34 pm These are due file marks on a copper-nickel example. The lathe line variety is on the bronze issue (except a few known CN Patterns). The lathe lines are circular and concentric from the middle out. Report this Post to the Staff
MintPenny Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 8:10 pm Yes, I am referring to the FS-1401 Die Polish Lines on the Copper Nickel cent (1864 1C Polished Die FS-401 S-5 ) not the lathe lines variety on the Bronze cent (1864 1C Lathe Lines FS-1401 S-11). Report this Post to the Staff
