johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 01/23/2026 09:11 am I believe I saw this on the forum some time ago. However, I can't find an exact post. What are these lines on Liberty's cheek? Are they die polish lines? I see similar often on reverse fields. They seem more common on the 78s although that might be coincidence. Thank you.

There are more of the lines behind the nose (Under the eye) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 01/23/2026 6:35 pm I'm not sure if these are the same. My thought was die polish lines. This is a different coin, but look at the lines in the fields. This is a 79. Another 78 example. Same type of lines, different direction.

johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 01/24/2026 5:00 pm My thought was polishing. I doubt they're any type of flow lines as they don't seem to radiate outwards. They're also not hairlines we see from severe cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94705 Posts	Posted 01/24/2026 6:49 pm I don't think it is either polishing or roller marks. Maybe it was scraped on something. Collecting since 1972.

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 01/24/2026 7:17 pm I've seen these on lots of GSA Hoard coins. I think they are roller marks. Report this Post to the Staff
