tatt2ed13 Pillar of the Community United States 557 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 3:59 pm Hmm , I've seen some like this , and a few people thought it maybe a Planchet issue .. others like Pyrbob here thought it could have had an issue with the feeder .. either way its interesting piece , most likely not worth a premium but something I would put in with my minor die cracks and gas bubbled coins ...

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 4:49 pm I've seen lines like that on quite a few Memorial cents, and I can't always tell if it's a zinc plating issue or feeder finger die damage. I haven't seen any on copper cents yet though, so that's some indication. On the other hand, I do have some nickels with feeder-finger die damage. Report this Post to the Staff
