How do you feel about....

Planchet striations or roller lines on a coin?
This one borders on a black beauty inhand,

Nice find! I think you're on a roll.

 

They don't bother me. Some actually give a unique and interesting appearance to a coin.

I always like seeing that one Larry. I have a couple of Ikes also.

 

Striation lines I know, but don't they also call those Woody's in error collections.

 

I always appreciate the "oddities" even if not considered errors. If they have a unique/interesting look I keep them. Very nice!

Here is one I found a few months ago.

 

I think they give coins unique character. That one is pretty extreme.

Here's one with die polish lines above the eagle's head. I like it. Currently it's at PCGS being graded.

 

Woody's/ Improperly mixed alloys have streaks of different metals that look like wood grain.
