Found this coin roll hunting a while ago, I misplaced this coin, and this is the only picture I have of it until I find it.  |

Hmmm,  I'm thinking, I mean guessing, that the collar was heavily polished OR it happened when the planchet was stamped from the sheet?  |

This coin may have been struck on a blank that didn't go through the upset mill to become a planchet. Want to see more pics. Cool find if that !

Grinding wheel around the edge?

It didn't look like someone grinded it, it looked to "perfect", and the lines are very straight. Also, the lines are on the whole edge of the coin, not just the section pictured

Possibly a severely worn collar and what you are seeing is the result of hundreds of thousands or even millions of cents having been pushed up out of the collar. That created wear and "flowlines" on the collar just like it does on worn dies.

If it were a type I planchet(blank),I would expect to see the same diagnostics for a clip planchet along the entire edge. Smooth for about half way down and then rough for the part torn by the action of the blanking press. Since that is not the case, a worn collar is likely the culprit.

I am with Stoneman on this, those look like cut lines so it may have somehow missed or did not get the full treatment on the upsetting mill

Can't be PMD, the lines are just, too good. I have no clue what this could be |

most likely an old punch that left behind the lines that we can now see. Or the punching machine was using lower presser than it should. As in low on fluid.

Assuming it is not a zinc Lincoln Penny, I could reproduce that effect easily, with my axe file (or any number of my wood files - but would cringe at damaging them) and a bit of patience...

This could be faked, but could anyone create the aged/circulated look that this edge has after grinding it? Doubt it.
