<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2049204, member: 69760"]Also, above and between the TA in States, there's a die crack mark. More above surface crack marks found below the E in United, below-left of O in OF, and below-right of U in United. The stripes I mentioned in the previous post look to be above the surface, as if it's some sort of lamination error, that somehow caused a high sheen area next to it. As mentioned, these stripes appear to be below the letters.</p><p><br /></p><p>There's also a high relief running along the inside-left (die crack?) in the last O of Monticello.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next to the thick S mint mark, the stripes are there, too, just not on the S itself, so I don't think the stripes came post-mint.
