I have the coin in-hand. The raised vertical lines lines on the steps of the Memorial do NOT match the raised vertical lines in the bays of the Memorial. I can only conclude that all these lines represent intentional die abrasion. But we need to explain why the lines on the Memorial steps are largely in line with the columns of the Memorial. I can only speculate that, somehow, the column recesses in the die face guided the abrasive tool southward into the steps. I have not seen (or noticed) this effect before. It's peculiar and interesting, but doesn't quite make the cut for one of my columns. Thanks for letting me look at it, Earl.

Great to have your follow-up on this! Too bad not column-worthy.

Thanks for letting me look at it Thank you Mike for taking a look at it. It is unusual and I will tuck it away in an air-tight. Finding this one has me looking for one that is similar (now that I know this error exist). The search goes on ! |

Actually, I have decided to write it up, as part of a more general treatment on how die recesses can guide polishing and abrasion marks. This approach should provide enough material to generate a full column.
