CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 1:03 pm I've seen a lot of roller lines on the late 70s - early 80s cents but they've always been straight lines. Maybe this wavy lined example can point definitively to rollers as being the cause. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6451 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 2:05 pm I wonder if the waviness indicates that the metal sheet was uneven thickness and did indeed need to be rolled. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 2:41 pm With the lines at the top and bottom seemingly unaffected, I suspect some isolated wheels on rollers went wonky.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94672 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 2:46 pm could these be (for lack of a better term) woody lines when the material was extruded from the furnace? Collecting since 1972.

It isn't known for sure what causes these lines but they don't look like "woodys" to me. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."
