Proof characteristics are not my strongest point but these apear to be die flow lines which give the appearance of radiating from the center of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Rlewis87 Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 07:01 am It's in a slab so I'll have to figure it out in a few hours. I don't know much about proofs either but I have another 87 proof and it doesn't have any of those markings on. I thought the proof cameos weren't supposed to have anything like that on the coin.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 07:20 am A proof die will be polished during its working life to remove damage from striking coins. Flow lines should be possible. Will look through some in a bit Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 08:36 am Yes , proof dies can develop flow lines. One of my 1976 proof quarters. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 09:33 am I've seen that scarlet colored thread a few times On proof coins. It might be in the packing process or storage. But seeing that on your coin reminded me of seeing that before. Instead of trails, I feel it is part of the etching surface of the cameo that is moving with continued use of the die.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 12:38 pm Coop , It's the packing the mint used. Here it is with one of my favorite Ikes that is unlisted doubled and tripled die obverse . The Masterdie doubling is only supposed to be on the date. Report this Post to the Staff
Rlewis87 Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 1:50 pm Thanks for all the responses guys. The area above the 1 just kinda jumped out at me then saw the rest. I'll have to keep all your info in mind while looking through these proofs Report this Post to the Staff
