RLS0812 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 3:46 pm Note the lines going in one direction. It appears the metal from the lines was 'pushed' out of the way. Die damage would leave a raised area, die wear would be non uniform, and filled die would be a lot smoother. Post minting damage is the most likely cause. Report this Post to the Staff

Cuzimcute00 Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 12:46 am Thank you all for responding. I was told that the horizontal lines are flow lines, and are normal as a coin ages. I've seen it on a lot of the newer ones. Edited by Cuzimcute00 07/05/2018 12:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
