When you first glance at this coin, you would think the lines are scrapes, but it really doesn't appear to be that. Mixed alloy issue?

(I listed this under varieties and errors, but it may need to be pushed over to the general question category)

Very nice example of plating bubbles. Nice hint of toning also.
