cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 7:54 pm I have seen this before on a few Canadian coins. It is not common but dose exist on most denominations but mainly on uncirrculated coins. File marks no but close. The term I found is concentric lathe lines left over from the reducing machine. A fresh die with out the polishing of the die complete. Used as a marker. Our American friends say it has very little premium if any. You will notice how the lines always are perpendicular to the center point of the coin. Great eye. A keeper in my books. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 10:06 pm Those are not lathe lines. There are marks like this all over the 1975 nickel dollar in various spots, which I cannot explain. Here is another one: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/292019603850 I suspect it is some sort of planchet feeder damage to the die. "Tool marks" is probably the best way to describe this.
