-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8757 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 6:02 pm I've been searching Lincoln bank rolls for a few years now and have never been able to find a coin with lathe lines. I just recently started searching nickel bank rolls and think I have finally found one. Let me know what you think. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 6:29 pm Lathe lines like this must indicate (to my eye), that the working die was carelessly finished, and must constitute some sort minor die variety. An educative coin. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8757 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 7:45 pm Thank you all for conformation! I feel like I have been looking for one of these forever and every time I thought I had one, it was nothing more than really nice concentric die scratches. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 08:11 am Great eye and find. Lovr the strength of them. Certainly seems like lathe lines but .... Why are there lines across the top of some of the letters as well (U of UNITED in particular)? I'm not saying it's damage at all, just trying to understand the process. The concentric lines must have been on the surface of the working die when it was hubbed by the working hub? Or were these on the working hub and got transferred to the working die? EDIT: Giving it some more thought makes me think it must bo one the working die face before it is hubbed otherwise there would be a lot more dies showing them if the lathe lines were produced by the working hub. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 12/08/2021 08:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 11:55 am They were left over then the blank was being prepared: The problem that the die polishing was not thorough enough to remove all the lathe lines on the blank. When when the design was hubbed into the blank, the lines still showed through. This has happened before. Other times it is on the center areas of the die: Interesting, but not much of a premium for these. (new ones buy them) CoopHome:What are lathe lines and how are the left over on a die?
