I looked at this topic/post about an hour ago, and still can't get my mind around it. Quote:
probably from another half dollar lying flat on top of this one. This can happen if this coin was at the bottom of the collection bag when the other coin landed on it Dearborn don't you mean perpendicular? That was my first thought but then I feel due to the length the "top" coin would have to roll over the surface of the imprinted coin.  I'm going to be like Arnold Swarschennaguer (spell check won't help me on that one) So.......I'll be back |

Roller42 did you check out this coin with a loupe? Does it show signs of pushed metal? That would then equal Reed Marks. Wondering if this could be a strike through? Here me out, could the clad layer of a previously minted half break off from the reeded area and flip onto the next planchet before being struck?  Nevertheless, fascinating coin....keeper for sure Edited by Greasy Fingers

yeah you may be right Greasy. I'm curious not to see if Roller comes back with a close up or something.

How about this for a thought? Maybe this coin was once part of a mint set and the marks are from the cello crimping machine. (Just tossing out ideas here ) |

sounds reasonable, seeing how the marks are straight, not curved, and are at the very edge of the coin.

It is interesting how it happens to line up. |

sure looks like a long line of Reed Marks - the spacing lines up well enough. |
