The striations are over the letters in a linear way...some form of PMD I suspect. Almost like it was wiped with a bristle brush and corrosives...definitely not a planchet woodie.

Thanks Crazyb0. I think the striations were on the die or the planchet.

There are so many lines so close together that I can't tell if the anomaly is raised or incuse. It's one or the other (or both) so that says to me it is something other than a woody.

One that I have really shows under certain lighting and hardly at all with different lighting:

The lines are raised and unaltered as they enter the devices. I think they're on the planchet. Coop?

I have one almost like that as well. You all Diagnosed it Woody/LAM Combo. But, my lines are going diagonally like spruett's.

Here is my post on, I have a lot of close-ups if you want to compare the lines. Maybe yours is the same?

Thanks CC, yours is definitely a Woody/Lam. I can see that without reading the link. The lines in a Woody can go in any direction. When they're on both sides, they match up in direction, as yours does. I'm having a little trouble with mine because the lines are raised a little more than usual. That makes me think polishing marks, I see evidence of polishing at the coat too. What makes me think it's a Woody is the uniformity of the lines. I guess this one is anybody's guess.

Yes, I think it is a woody also, but was thinking maybe the lines on yours has to do with a lamination issue as well. Look up by WE is that PMD? I don't think a wire brush would do such a nice job of getting into all the crevices (but I have never experimented)

It looks like a reeded coin landed over his head, so I'll say it's probably damage. The more I think about it, I agree it's a Woody. It certainly looks like Woody, without the usual wear. A Goody Woody!
Thanks everyone.
