Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/19/2015 8:33 pm I checked for rippled coins on the bay and I only saw a couple ("extremely rare")examples. They appear (to me) to have plating issues (gas). The only thing that was rare was the parallel lines -- and I'm not so sure that's really unusual. I can't tell from your pics if the coin actually has raised lines or if the copper is just streaky. Maybe it's a woodie...? Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 08/19/2015 10:45 pm Pre 1982 cents were not plated. Sellers on ebay will list even smashed coins as rare errors to lure unsuspecting buyers. Educate yourself on the hobby, don't let the thieves on ebay take advantage of you and don't let ebay be the place you get your education. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...d-coin&id=30 https://goccf.com/t/68438&whichpage=1 Edited by cwb 08/19/2015 10:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2015 6:11 pm They could be rolling lines on the stock material of the planchet or fading die scratches on the die. Either way they are not a premium to the coin. (just an answer to your question) Sometimes finding something that is common, it just that. Common Report this Post to the Staff
