Enyaw Valued Member Canada 461 Posts	Posted 02/05/2024 1:41 pm I noticed this odd-looking circle on the leaf of a 1966 cent. I initially thought struck through something, but it kind of looks raised to me not incuse. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 02/05/2024 2:16 pm If it is raised and in the center of the coin my first guess is concentric lathe lines . An error at the mint failure to polish the die properly. Sure looks like it is nice and round lathe work. I have some on the 1965 5 cents that are the same but expect lots of arguments.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 02/06/2024 12:10 am Not lathe lines - lathe lines would emanate from the center of the die then move concentrically outward and would show only in the fields. It may be a struck through coiled piece of wire or string/thread - or it just may be simply some kind of damage. The way the shadows fill in the lines it looks incuse also. Edited for bad spelling.

Native-American sun circle. African camp with anti-lion briar-walled corral. Indecipherable Nazca image. New species of leaf fungus. Looks like some kind of wire garbage to me. I go with retained struck-through. Edited by TerryT 02/11/2024 01:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
