Are they lathe lines, or is it something resulting from a poor strike. A guess on the grade (and value if they are lathe lines) would be helpful to0. -Thanks, XoG Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 6:23 pm Those are called die flow lines. They are actually wear/erosion of the die. This transfers on from coin to coin and only get worse with time. You can also note the die wear around the devices. The edge of these start to flow over the device removing the edge that was there when the die was new. Report this Post to the Staff
