The obverse is normal.Any guess would be better than mine as to what this is,would this be considered a type of rippling,maybe a die polishing error? thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 10/08/2013 12:54 am The lines are perfectly parallel and go through the devices as well as the fields. I am inclined to say those are an effect of the rolling of the copper-nickel strips (i.e., rolling marks). You commonly see a similar effect on the 1968-1970 nickel dollars.
