I was looking through roll of all copper cents tonight. I pulled a few out that looked like this and ALL of them were 1980D's. Under magnification all 1980D's in the roll had these on one side or another.
I have one that has these same stripes on both sides sitting in acetone right now.

It wouldn't be unusual for a woody to show on both sides. But, it's still a pleasing find!

Montcollector you say all of the 1980 D had the same lines ? I'll have to start looking closer at mine. That's cool ! Are they the same as far as spacing and boldness ? Post a pic! thanks spruette I like the way these look I have a ten year old daughter that loves to find one of these she keeps them all regardless of boldness or one or two sided she says they are pretty .

Quote: You're not saying you have two of these that are exactly the same are you? No the 1980-P is pictured above. This thread was originally about a 1980D so I thought I would throw the "P" in as a "bonus" coin. To show both mints(if the stripes are from the mint) had an issue with this this year. None of the coins have the exact same stripes. Sorry if I made it sound that way.

My misunderstanding. That would have been really something. Thanks

Hey folks, still arguing?. I do agree w/coop, why I said roller lines, looking in betwixt columns, where I saw it. Picture this,wish I had my old CAD program...two rollers, side by side revolving in opposite directions, one CCW, the other CW, the belt around one rotates both rollers, space between them is in the microns, way less than 1 mm. Now think what happens when coins go through that space, "going through as wringer" ring a bell? After many years of use,these belts get...DIRTY. Imagine the pressure, doncha jus' tink, something might be "applied" to these coins? Huh, huh!
