cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 8:29 pm I am currently trying to understand the step by step process of making coins. It seems a person has to have a complete library to see the complete process in it's entirety. One question I have is has anyone ever found a coin with the lathe lines from the reducing machine on it? Is this considered an error? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 8:36 pm A few U.S. coins have been found with lathe lines, mainly cents and nickels. I haven't seen a Canadian one yet. Report this Post to the Staff
cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 9:52 pm I saw one about 10 years ago looking through circulation rolls At the time I didn't have a loop and just thought it was an old coin in bad shape. Searching through BU rolls helps alot now, although it gets a bit expensive. I was searching the 1964 and 1965 Canadian nickels for new hub doubling when I found the new error. I passed them by and on the third it come to me instantly,lathe lines. It might be a day or two to get pictures but one punch die strike exists. Report this Post to the Staff

I have never found one but I do own one- a 1996D Lincoln Cent. The lines have been attributed to the usage of the Janvier Reducing Lathe during the die making process.
