Dearborn Moderator United States 99181 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 06:43 am That is caused by a very worn out die. the marks are called 'Radial Flow Lines'. visit here on these marks: https://www.error-ref.com/?s=radial+lines. Definition: As the die ages, the cold metal flow from striking planchets will groove the die face in a radial pattern. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
