Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 9:27 pm I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but does anybody know why the scratches or polish marks are so prominent in the most affected areas (under memorial,on and behind Abe's head)? I wouldn't think they would appear so strong when struck through. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 10:24 am These streaks are a carry-over from the original streakiness of the unstruck planchet. The "grease" is smooth and viscous and imparts no texture of its own. Instead it preserves the original texture of the unstruck planchet. Error coin writer and researcher.
