BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 11/25/2021 12:52 pm They are planchet striations found on many Lincolns. They do not form but are already present on the planchet. They are most pronounced on weakly struck coins. This Greaser I found is the subject of many discussions across multiple forums. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 11/28/2021 11:14 am the black lines you see are fingerprint marks that got etched into the surface of the coin. (going by the new images you just posted up) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 11/28/2021 11:15 am I'm curious though, are the images you just put up the same coin you posted in your first post? They look different to me Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
