jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 3:52 pm Are those planchet striations on both the obverse and reverse? And if so, do they add value to a coin like this? As usual, THANKS! Edited by jdsstrat 05/05/2025 3:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If so, there's no added value. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 10:24 pm Well, when it left the mint, the striations were probably not visible on the bright shiny metal. They only became visible as the coin aged. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
