honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 2:13 pm These lines do not go over the Letters on the Reverse. I think they are die lines. The lines are at the top of the coin running through STATES and E PLURIBUS UNUM. One or 2 of them run down to the ONE CENT. They are fairly wide raised lines but they are smooth and symetrically curved on top.

honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 5:54 pm They look too even and straight to be a lamination error. They are very symetrical, like a pvc tube inches out of the ground and they are all parallel to each other. Edited by honestabe 12/30/2007 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 6:45 pm No, they appear to be solid, but the left most line, the largest, is made up of many smaller lines with a smooth background(no scratches or anything). Report this Post to the Staff
