Are you talking about the lines off to the side of the memorial? They look like plating issues. PS - I helps if you tell us what you are seeing.
Haiwatha Reverse to be more precise. A camera would be better for pictures - as long as you take clear pictures.
2010 Sac. Dunno about the silver. Could be plated. The date will be on edge of the rim FYI.
Picked up a box of dimes on the way home from work. 2nd roll gave me the nice silver edge and when I pulled it out it was a 1986 Canadian dime....
It is a Philly mint 1990 cent with maybe a die chip on the reverse or maybe it's a plating bubble like ken said. FYI - a cud is only on the rim.
They were hand punched up until 1989(someone correct me if I got the date wrong!) so they can be in a variety of places/positions.
Honestly, I would wait before you go and get it graded. See if anyone else chimes in. Grading can get rather expensive and if it turns out to...
With it being just a bit over weight for what a normal quarter should be I highly suspect that it is plated.
An IHC on your first box...Way to go!
What does it weigh? With the silver edge my guess would be that it was plated.

I second the plating issue.
This weeks 8 boxes of cents gave up: Wheats: 84 including 2-10's, 3-20's, 5-30's, the rest 40's and 50's. Two 40's are nice red wheats....
This weeks results: 4 boxes of dimes - 4 Roosies [IMG] 4 boxes of nickels - 4 War(42S, 43Px2, 45P), 2-09P, 3-09D [IMG] [IMG]
Ditto what non_cents said.
It looks as though it was stripped of it's copper layer. It has no mint luster what-so-ever. Also the rough surface indicates to me that some...
A much better answer than mine...One should not try to answer questions on CT when they are exhausted :)
Proofs are minted in San Francisco. They have "S" mint marks. Bicentenials aren't worth keeping unless they are the silver issue.
Not if they are PMD.
A quick google search shows that it should weigh 8 grams.
