1959D Odd lines

I need some help with this one. I dont recall ever coming across this before.

At first glance i thought it was a lamination...but after closer inspection i am thinking that it initially may have something to do with the collar...i honestly just do not know and am open for interpretation. Any help/info would be appreciated. Note the lines are perfectly straight and show on both the obverse and reverse. They also lay in different directions on each side. They cross the rim on one end but stop at the rim on the opposite side. Also....the collar seems damaged,it shows hairlines and a mark that looks similar to a collar break...

Scratches........I can see where coin metal is pushed up........PMD. ~ Chris

 

I will have to respectfully disagree,thx for your opinion

 

So, you don't want help. You want someone to support your idea that the collar had something to do with this. How could that be? The collar is a device used to ensure that the coin metal does not flow beyond a specified diameter. If you don't believe that, look up "broadstrike". ~ Chris

 

This is why I decided not to answer. I was going to give the same response. But things are going to be different with me from now on around here.

 

My first thought was PMD as you can see metal pushed to both sides.

 

You guys were quiet as a mouse last time i proved you wrong @paddyman98 @cpm9ball ,the least you could do is respect someone elces opinion,i am speculating,im not saying that is how it happened. I want help,yes,but im not gonna take everything you say as the absolute truth,im sorry. I respect your opinion,as you should mine...you are way to quick to discredit me here.

 

Ok then.. You don't have to. It's your right.
So good luck.. Over and out.

It's just your jive talkin' telling me lies
Jive talkin', you wear a disguise
Jive talkin', so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin', you're really no good

What say you @paddyman98 ?

 

Even if i were right,you would never admit it anyways. Thx guys

 

.. Next coin please

 

eh,no thx....im better off determining these things myself....youve yet to be right

 

Nice scratch - see how it goes over the
raised rim?

 

i see it fred,it isnt a scratch

 

it does not break alignment whatsoever and is absolutely perfectly straight...even crossing the devices...it does not stray 1 bit

 

my opinion may not have any weight here...and thats fine....im more than happy to pay to have it professionally examined

 

if you think that then send it to a TPG. I agree with others above that it is PMD.

 

I think you had it professionally examined for free in post #13. Don't worry though, if in the unlikely event that the TPG can't reach a consensus and they need to send to one of their subject matter experts on errors, Fred will get to see it again.

 

Not sure what you mean by 'does not break alignment' ?

The 'line' is straight, goes into the surface of the coin, and
goes over the rims.
