It's probably some form of die damage that occurred during the press run. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 8:01 pm I took this coin into the Philadelphia Mint in 1998 and was told that Denver was still having problems with their new die shop in 1996 and they thought this was the result of improper die blank polishing. I wonder since it would seem that the hubbing process would have distorted the lines more than what we see here. Coin submitted by Mike Weimer April 27, 1998.
