are you referring to what looks like polish lines on the coin or do you see something else on the coin all together?

I guess that is what I am refering to. Did not know if it was some type of doubling or not on the motto. If you wouldn't mind explaining, how would polishing cause this? Thank you, Vinnie.

These are from a Brinks shotgun roll I opened last night. All are dated 1970-s and look to be uncirculated. Thats why I figured I would post on here and find out if this is normal. Here is a shot of the "E". Thanks  |

what would cause polish lines is for example if the two dies hit each other (called a die clash) it would leave marks on the one die from the other one, the mint employee would have to polish those dies to remove the clash marks like taking metal away from the die itself to make the it a smooth surface. Sometimes they didn't polish away all the polish lines and it would cause what looks like as cleaned lines (from a coin that was harshly cleaned)but instead of being indented in the coin (like one would expect from a harshly cleaned coin) the lines would be raised from the surface and this can be very deceiving and actually can take some studying the coin by someone that knows the difference to determine which it is. I hope this helps explain what would cause polish lines and how they would get on a coin but if you need further explanation just ask and either I can try to elaborate further or another member may be able to explain it a little better and in a easier to understand way

The coin kind of looks like deterioration doubling ,,but to be honest I can't be sure ,, what do the other devices look like ,,Bust ,date ,Reverse ?
die polish lines are raised from the surface of the coin ,,whereas abrasive cleaning lines are below the surface of the coin.

Before I say too much, I want to see IN GOD, LIBERTY and The DATE with Mintmark.
I see what looks like Die doubling but I want to see the rest of the coin to be sure.

The reverse has the lines too...these are absolutely ONLY in the fields. I studied this coin closely in hand, there is no marks on any of the raised surfaces, only in the fields.  |
