I was just going through a couple rolls of BU 58s, tracking the progression of a die chip where a couple die cracks intersected, when I found this one. With a naked eye, I thought I was just seeing roller lines. Under my loupe however, I'm not sure if this is PMD or really heavy die polish where the chip and cracks were.

The two heavy streaks on Lincoln's Head are where the die chips were on other coins in the rolls.
Rest in Peace

Now here's a coin that deserves a better looking at, but in an area you're not looking at. The reverse. The lines on the obverse are most likely post strike, source unknown. If it were planchet/blank/stock plate, the lines would have been removed from bust upon strike. I'd like to purse better pix of the area around the O of ONE. It could very well Bea damaged scrape but it seems the lower left quarter of the device is shallower than the rest and a portion at 10 o'clock is intriguing, die chip, moved metal? Hmmmm?

I took a few better pictures of the reverse... and am I seeing what I think I'm seeing on the "E"?

Multiple issues going on with your coin. A bit of grease on the head not allowing the hair to look normal. On the bust, I'm not sure, but looks like coin contact. (Possibly the same issue as on the head) The weakness of the 'O' in one is from the striking process. The metal movement is very strong on the other side of the coin. Sometimes this leaves the reverse 'O' looking weak. Die flow lines on the EPU are distracting, but maybe a minor DDR on that area? The flattening on the tops of the devices also added a distraction. But this die may/may not be listed. (Still a keeper. who knows maybe someday it might be listed?)

Thanks for the knowledge and sharp eyes crazy and coop. I'm a somewhat excited now, as about a third of the coins from the two rolls I was going through have the same issue around EPU.

If they were OBW rolls, then you get an example of the coins from the machine were running at that time. I've seen as few as three different die pairs in a roll, then again over 20 different die examples. It just depends on how many dies were running when your batch was created.
