Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 02/11/2026 5:31 pm these are a bit strange - maybe roller lines? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5767 Posts	Posted 02/13/2026 06:38 am Hmmmm... I don't believe they are caused Feeder Finger Damage to the dies, since Feeder Finger Damage during this time period are N-S on the reverse, towards the top. These seem to be parallel and E-W on both faces and near the rim gutter on the die. The die face would have been convex, so maybe, IMHO, the striking pressure was just light enough that the roller lines weren't eliminated during the strike. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 02/13/2026 06:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
