<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1365065, member: 35203&quot;]I agree the &quot;lines&quot; are more die polishing or rather retooling to milk every coin they could from the dies. One thing to consider is if the lines are in the metal or raised or gouged in as that would be PMD or are they flat and smooth? Then it would be retooling of the dies. I also think there is some planchet issues going on here with regard to the color. Some of the pattern of &quot;lines&quot; seem to suggest an improper mix of copper and nickel alloy. Perhaps some of the clad nickel layer is a bit thin in spots allowing the copper to bleed thru like a bad paint job. Especially around the date. Even if there is copper bleeding thru the value won&#039;t change just the look. It&#039;s not like it&#039;s struck on the wrong metal planchet or with a wrong denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
