twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 11:56 am I'm pretty sure this is not an error coin because I've seen this a few times when going thru pocket change. This is the best example, though. Even with the awful pics (struggling to figure out how to light really shiny coins properly), you can see what I'm talking about. These ridges go all the way across both sides of this penny, and even appear on the devices. What is this? * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 10:29 am OK, I understand the concept of linear plating bubbles, I think. They'd be sort of like the zinc zits you sometimes see on pennies, only in lines? Feel free to clarify/elaborate/correct my mistaken thinking. But rolling lines? So there are rollers that touch both sides of a coin at some point in the minting process? Report this Post to the Staff
