clarapedrero1989 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 5:20 pm I have these coins put to the side because of how different they look, and would like to know what type of error it is. Looks to me like some type of wood grain or something, any info would be great ! All 3 have the same type of look to them. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74862 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 6:08 pm These are called Roller Lines. It happens when the rolling machine's belt gets dirty, causing Planchets to get dirt and grime on them. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not so sure about that. I thought the rolling machines were used to roll the blank stock sheets to proper thickness and the steel rollers would some how get grease on them and roll the grease streak right into the blank stock. Then the blanks were punched out with the roller lines on them. Then the rest of the minting process used the streaked blanks. If I'm wrong sombodey let me know, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74862 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 6:24 pm I might be wrong. For some reason, I've always thought they would go on belts or something. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 11:10 pm I believe you are correct Mark. The metal rollers are dirty, not a belt.
