mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 1:41 pm Hi all. I have found a few of these cents with ring marks and I'm not sure what to make of them. Die scratches or something else? I have found a couple of the 1996 D cents with concentric lathe lines on the obverse and also a 1988 D Jefferson nickel with them, but these look a little different. What do you guys think of these. Thanks for looking, Mike Click photos to enlarge. (#1)1996 D Ring marks mostly behind memorial, also can be seen on the field under the outer devices. (#2) 1996 D Ring marks behind memorial and I think this one might be a doubled die? 1988 Ring marks behind memorial and can also be seen on the steps. 2004 Heavy ring marks dead center only. This coin is a mess! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 2:53 pm I call these lathe marks. The die was turned, but not polished enough to remove the deeper lathe turning marks. A nice set you have there. I find them interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2009 3:10 pm The 1996 Cent is the most impressive. I have one but no image of it right now. Sounds like a project sometime soon. Report this Post to the Staff
