Titles are Important! * I assume they're just roller lines, but they're much more pronounced and evenly spaced than I'm used to seeing.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 3:17 pm Nothing on the reverse, which is why I suspect roller lines. Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 3:22 pm It might be. I was thinking Improper Alloy Mix. Or maybe some type of staining? Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5880 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 3:24 pm I believe roller lines are the culprit. (From what I understand they can be on both sides of a coin.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 05/09/2020 3:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 4:37 pm The rolling lines start to appear as soon as the BU finish goes away on the copper core cents. On the Zincolns, they can appear on the planchets and get weaker on the struck areas on the coins. You can see these also on nickels as well: Also on clad dimes you can see them after the BU finish goes away: Report this Post to the Staff
