Snooderpuff Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 12:38 am I have a 1996 and a 2001 Penny that have odd straight lines on them. I was just wondering if anyone knows what they are. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

coinaki Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 02:50 am The ones on the reverse of the coin are called Die Scrapes... it's damage from feeder fingers. They usually travel either NW/SE(in your case) or NE/SW. Sorry but I don't know what lines you are referring to on the obverse. Edited by coinaki 10/24/2013 02:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
