Then again, you might get them no matter what you do... Maybe the wavy lines above STATES is what you are looking at?

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 06/18/2017 4:49 pm I believe that's Die Deterioration. As the die come near the end of their useful production they begin to show wear. Your Quarter is showing severe metal flow due to metal fatigue on the die Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/18/2017 6:23 pm Wendell Yes, they are what is called Die Flow lines. As dies wear out, the surface metals on the die move outwards...depending on material you get circumferential lines like yours, at times forming a complete circle (on cents most often) or lines appointing outward on harder material (nickels)... These care not considered as errors, just late stage die wear, a part of the process of coin making. Report this Post to the Staff
