pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 10/26/2013 10:20 pm Looks like it might be tool marks, or tool damage. This is caused when the die edge is filed down but the file marks aren't buffed out fully. They are found on most , if not all, years (of pennies, at least), and they're fun to look out for. Sometimes it's just a single line, sometimes several, and they can be of varying sizes, from a millimeter or so up to a centimeter long. I have a couple of hundred different ones, ranging from the early 50's up to 2013. And just for the record, the 2013 is a loonie, not a penny!
