coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 9:02 pm They show up after the original surface is gone. But they are topical like printing on the surface of the coin. Eventually they wear off the coin and they are no longer seen. On a woody, these are all through the planchet, so coin wear does not remove them. Note on the columns how the lines have worn off the coin on the rolling lines. Edited by coop 07/01/2019 9:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
