11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 8:17 pm I have found 4 or 5 of these in the box I'm searching. I'm not sure where to try and look this up cause I don't know what it is. I'm thinking maybe EDS and they disappear after the die wears in a little. I don't see any sign of them on the other coins. Any idea what caused it ? Anyone ever noticed the lines before ? Is it a variety ? Thanks for your help in solving this mystery. (Mystery to me anyways) Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 9:50 pm Kind of look like die polishing lines. Or they could be feeder finger marks Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 10:01 pm Not sure, but here is one I just found. The line are pretty clear on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 10:19 pm Thats odd. Can you find them anywhere else on the coin. If you do and they are going in the same direction I would say Feeder Finger Damage to the die. I think that's what it is Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 01:40 am They are rolling lines from the stock material. Whey they don't disappear after being struck I still a mystery to me. I had an couple in a roll once and noticed they are going in different directions on the coins. Then it hit they are on the stock material. Report this Post to the Staff

11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 08:07 am Wouldn't this be a die issue. Attached are the images of four different coins. All have the exact same markings. Seems to me that if this were a plate rolling issue that the chances of this happening would be astronomical. It seems it would have to be on the die. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 09:36 am It seems to be a die issue. Maybe die polishing went a little deeper into recessed area? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 09:41 am It is definitely a die issue. I would say either die polishing or Feeder Finger Damage Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 10:08 am Coop, I should have made it more clear in the beginning that I found more than one. Would this die be considered a variety ? Thanks, everybody, for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 10:18 am Not a die variety. Just an event. A polishing with perhaps sandpaper or something that scratched the die. (especially if you find more than one example in the same direction on several coins) The example I found was a stock/planchet issue. Report this Post to the Staff
