1998D cent lines between the columns...

Seems like there is a lot going on between the columns, almost looks like curtains...
What causes these lines?

Huh that's interesting. I've not seen one like that before. My first thought would be die polish lines. Strange that they are only in the bays though. Whatcha think @paddyman98 ?

 

I think it’s PMD. Looks like somebody took a fine ball point pen and “colored” in the columns. Most of the ink is gone now. I just tried this on a Zlincoln and got a similar effect with only moderate pressure (sorry can’t get good pics). Try it yourself and see if you can duplicate the damage

 

Looks like Damage to me.

 

Meow has seen that before and agrees with your assessment.

 

kids ...

pretty kewl looking though

 

Thanks, tried it, it worked...

 

Now we'll have another error posted in a new thread that's Damage. lol

 

I think what you have is an inspection coin. Every once in a while, a coin is pulled out of production and inspected for errors. Once inspected, the inspector throws the coin back into the batch.

 

Actually it is just PMD, I am sure it would grab most folks attention but only that upon closer inspection.

 

Oh is that selective Post Machine Die? It only gets damaged in selective areas?

 

PMD = Post Mint Damage
