coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/13/2019 5:52 pm That is called channeling. If happened on the dies back then to strengthen the design outline. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=channeling Happened on coins in that era. Good read though. As the dies were polished several times, then that engrave mark disappeared off the die. You just seeing what is left. No premium. Edited by coop 06/13/2019 5:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
