I remeber a post while back, someone was talking about a recut or recurfaced die putting lines on their coin. was wondering if this is what that is. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 09:07 am Could be filament tape (but I doubt it), but I think that roller lines are also in play here. The lines on the reverse are going in the same direction as the obverse. I doubt that the 'would be taper' would or 'could' line up the tape intentionally, or even accidently to line up like that. When tape is placed on a coin, it will not usually contact the coin at the corners where the device elements meet the fields., on this coin, the lined transition from the field to the device with no gaps at the transitions.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 6:58 pm looks to be about the same as before the soak. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
