Zoolander13 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 10:20 am I thought it might be lines from somebody putting tape over it but you can feel the grooves. Anyone have any ideas as to what may have done this and whether or not it is rare to see something like this? If anything, it's interesting to look at.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6492 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 11:18 am If I had to place a bet, I would guess roller lines on the metal sheet, before it was punched into planchets. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 11:40 am notice the lack of lines between IN and the portrait, this tells me the coin spent time obverse down on a patterned cloth or similar, and picked up contact toning from it Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19140 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 12:59 pm I'm thinking it's a 'pattern transfer' issue. What does the reverse look like? A couple of sharp, closer-in pics taken at a slight angle might tell us more. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 2:30 pm Does not look like a fingerprint. I think ijn1944 got it right. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6492 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 2:36 pm You wouldn't be able to feel toning. What is pattern transfer? Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 3:39 pm patterned cloth is not perfectly flat, so a coin laid upon it will contact only the higher parts of the cloth, leading to a chemical change that after time can be felt in those areas Report this Post to the Staff

This reminds me of the rubberized cabinet liners you can use to keep the wood in your cabinets and drawers to keep it from being scuffed and scratch by plates and dishes. Here's what we have, it's just a different pattern. I've seen this same type of lines on things that were in contact with the liner. Not any coins, but lots of other things.
