SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 6:03 pm I am showing the obverse of this quarter, it has a decent enough reverse. The pitting and parallel lines on this reminds me of an original planchet that has rolling marks and original planchet burn. Or was it scraped. It is an overall weak strike which made me believe that the planchet was not squeezed into the deeper recesses of the obverse die. It just looks bad. Edit: the reverse has some pitting as well in the centre. Edited by SilverDon 05/15/2017 6:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 10:44 pm yes, it is planchet porosity and rolling lines showing through from a lack of striking pressure. excellent example. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 821 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 6:30 pm The different appearance of the lines to the rest of the coin leads me to believe those are PMD scratches over a porous area. A closer look with a microscope will show if it's scratched or made by a die. Report this Post to the Staff
