<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1306333, member: 15199&quot;]Hi, The lines between the columns are die polish or filing lines. They were cut into the die and when striking the plancett, leaves a raise lines. Common on many&nbsp; of the 60s coins when they used the dies to the very limit. The other mark which is rather C shaped is a die gouge. Same as other, but deeper and leaves a larger raised portion. The piece next to the &quot;E&quot; is a die chip where a little piece of the die chipped off leaving the raised blob. I do not see any doubled die effects on the reverse lettering. The arrows are pointing at small die breaks or deterrioration. All of these are the results of overused dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint doesn&#039;t send these out rolled. Back then they went to a bank or such in a 5000 cent bag out of a bin from many presses, so an original roll would probably have several different coins as to markers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
