coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/23/2020 3:20 pm If the marks are incuse, then it may have been caused by someone using a pattern tracer on the coin, making those marks. The spaces between them look pretty much like it was done with a roller. Report this Post to the Staff

If they are minor splits, the centers of the bumps will show gray through, from the zinc underneath. Report this Post to the Staff
