First coin is showing some flowlines (radial lines through LIBERTY) some die polish lines (lines from nose toward BE and from back of neck) and planchet striation lines (those lines running all the way across the coin from 1:00 to 7:00)

On the first three images, I'm leaning more towards rolling lines on those areas. They can't be die polishing lines as the deeper devices are not affected by die polishing. So polishing lines would only affect the fields. If the coin was cleaned with an abrasive, then the lines could be the same on the fields and the devices. But I'm still leaning towards rolling lines on those areas.

Thank you. I promise I did not polish them and I have more than 10 from different rolled that have the same markings. Same as with the second obv coin image. Multiple coins with the same Little and Big Cuds in the same spot but the "other" markings on each can be off just in another spot and a little different looking from each other. Weird. Rolling lines- lets me know what caused that brushed look. Do you think that is what caused most of the markings just in different spots also? I appreciate your knowledge.. Much respect. Thank you. |

Well rolling lines don't always go away after the strike. How do I know?  Note the circled area? You can see the pre-strike rolling lines on the planchet, and the struck (slightly still showing) on the struck area. That is how I know that is what they are. |

Polishing of the dies, Zanner, not you polishing the coin. The mint polishes the die used to strike the coin in order to remove damage from things like clashes as the die ages. Sometimes they're a little aggressive or use a heavy grit and it leaves scratch marks all over the die that then get impressed into the surface of the coins struck with it. The thing you pointed to on the cheek just looks like a scrape, probably from the edge of another coin. Also, none of these are Cuds, as Cuds are what happens when a piece of the die breaks off on the rim. These are die chips. Looks like there's also a little booger chip on the edge of Frank's nostril. None of these are worth any premium on the coin unless they're a lot more severe, but they are fun to find! |

All this information from the answers into what is going on with these coins is a wealth of knowledge. I want to say thank you to all that welcomed me to the community and to the ones that took the time to explain to this little newby. I got some more reading to do to try to understand more about the process in making coins. Again Thank you!

Hi everyone! New guy to the community here also. Zanner, I have the exact same question. Specifically, the three dots on Roosevelt's neck. I found 4 in 1 bank roll.

the marks on the neck, appear, to be coin contact marks, from the reeded edge of another coin..

Probably the 2020 coins will have a lower mintage this year. Unless they start cranking them out soon?

I heard the mint is cranking out more coins then previous year due to the coin shortage from people not turning in coins back to the bank. In my area, the lines to the bank are very long everyday so I don't see the reason to stand in line under the hot sun unless I have to.

yeah, rumor has it, the mint will have a record year on mintages by the end of the year as they've been running full steam to try and mitigate the great coin shortage of 2020....
