If not scrap marks, it may be abrasions left by attempted removal of a clash mark. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff

ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 4:46 pm The Mint workers tried to polish away the clash lines here..it's a mix of clash lines(the larger, thicker ones), and, finer polish lines...the "Tiger Claw" Variety is on 1971-D coins, and, is stated as a 1 die coin, thus, pretty scarce...I have found 1 in 3,000 hunted, so, that shows you how rare the 71 is...more info on the Ikegroup.org website.
