The only thing I come up with would be polish marks....If it is ...who ever polished that die ,must been in a real bad mood...lol.
I really don't know what caused it ...hoping someone will tell us :)

I have seen a few myself...now that I think about it. Could be from a dremmel tool with some one trying to wire brush it with a brass or brush or polish it with a buffing wheel. Just my humble opinion.

the lines continue on top of the devises and there is no change in depth or faintness of the lines. polishing lines dont go that deep into the die and usually pick back up on the other side of the devices. Most likely PMD in my opinion. |

Wow ... two coins in the same thread make it very confusing to reply ... politely suggest monika that you start a new thread for all new coins.  I am not convinced that the initial OP coin can be easily discounted as PMD ... my opinion is based on the visual images of straight lines proud (above) the surfaces ... There are no known to me PMD processes that could cause raised surface issues ... therefore I state my opinion that this is either a very deceiving photograph ... or some mint problem occurred to create it.

striations
Term for the incuse polish lines on the die which result in raised lines on coins. These are usually fine, parallel lines though on some coins they are swirling, still others with criss-cross lines. Planchet striations are burnishing lines not struck away by the minting process and are incuse on the coins. from glossary. |

Thanks for the information about Planchet Striations. I don't think they hold any extra value. I still keep them because they look kind of cool. I may try to collect one example for every denomination of coin?
