Is this what you would call a strike through or something... This looks very unique. I also did some research and the Close Ams where on the 98 proof so where's my mint mark or am I wrong, also I don't think it's simple feeder finger issues on the coin.   Edited by Lrnin2Coin

The "lines" you see on the obverse are from plating issues. The copper plating is raised up, due to corrosion underneath. On the reverse, you have some plating issues also but the more extreme "lines" you see, going through AMERICA and under the memorial, are from Feeder Finger Damage. -makecents-

 I see the " lines " on the Reverse are going in different directions. IMO, There is more going on Here. I believe the Die was Re-Tooled or Repaired and the lines We see Could Also be Grinding/Repair Die Traces...... Thanks for Sharing........ |

Yours is not a proof coin. Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

The obverse and lighter reverse lines are called roller lines. In this case , as make cents stated , the roller lines are accented by corrosion. I also agree the heavier reverse lines are die related Feeder Finger Damage. |

as stated above: That would be a combination of roller lines on the obverse and the left side of the reverse and Feeder Finger Damage in the middle and right side. Very cool. Edited by Dearborn

The closely spaced, parallel ridges on the reverse are die scrapes from a feeder/ejector.
