<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 8486225, member: 73983&quot;]Planchet Striations as stated above.&nbsp; They are lines left in the planchet when the bar stock was pulled through the drawing table.&nbsp; Small burs developed on the edges of the drawing knife that left an impression in the silver.&nbsp; Then the blanks were stamped out of the final drawn bar stock.&nbsp; Those lines were deep enough that they remain in the higher points of the struck coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a lot like [USER=75818]@Dave Waterstraat[/USER] above in that I like the look of these striation lines.&nbsp; Here is a weakly struck 1888-O that showed quite a few of these lines.&nbsp; You can see some of the lines running through Liberty&#039;s upper cheek and into her hair.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1502406[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
