Think the details would be too deep to touch. Could be that a clash is the reason they needed to fix it up, though. Report this Post to the Staff
sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 4:48 pm Are their known die-clash varieties for this year? If it was the reason, it would be a nice bit of history to own both of those coins for this year. I really need to invest in those books you bought. Report this Post to the Staff

The lines were on the die when it was first put into use and gradually faded away from die wear and subsequent polishing. The die was used for a long time and the lines are visible to some extent until the latest die state. If the dies were able to clash hard enough to transfer the hair detail to the reverse die it would be down below the T in CENT and would be running upward from left to right.
