<p>[QUOTE=&quot;micheldura2, post: 716085, member: 18966&quot;]after a little research, I think this is what you would call roller marks?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Roller Marks go Underneath the Devices - </b>Another diagnostic for confirming roller marks are that they will go underneath (and sometimes across) the devices on the coin and continue on the other side. The reason is that, as a feature of the planchet itself, when the coin is struck the lines are usually obliterated by the devices rising from the surface of the planchet during striking. The roller marks on the field area of the coin are often still present because the force of the strike wasn&#039;t enough to obliterate them. Large coins are more difficult to strike well, which is why roller marks are far more common on large coins such as Silver Dollars, than they are on smaller coins like Seated Dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
