Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 08:06 am Just curious.What would cause these marks?And was the die just rattling around when this was struck? It seems that all the devices are mushed down.Or is it all PMD? Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 10:26 am Reminds me of scribe markings. Similarly found on hobo nickels. Present on Lincoln's back side and changes direction the higher it goes. Also on the chest and under the nose makes me think purposely done. Thanks, Doug.

Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 5:02 pm What seems odd to Me was the "scribe" lines are only on the bust.They go all the way down too the fields,but,not a scratch or nick on the fields themselves.And the lettering looks like MD.That's what got Me wondering.
