Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 02/28/2015 8:22 pm Not too sure if this is a specimen strike or if the metal aligned differently than usual. But it looks like there are straight lines throughout the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/28/2015 8:29 pm I don't know what caused the parallel lines, but this is common in zinc pennies. This is a business strike. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 12:44 am the parallel lines were made by the die, very common Edited by CoinMasters 03/01/2015 10:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 02:08 am Yes they look very common. In the ~500 pennies I searched, I got about 10-12 like that Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 04:09 am It's definitely not the die since they can be in any direction. It's something to do with the planchet. Edited by Altaira 03/01/2015 04:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
