<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4649604, member: 66&quot;]Striations typically refers to LINEAR lines running across the coins which are the result of the rolling out of the strip that the blanks are punched from.&nbsp; Frequently they will be seen on both sides of the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if the cause is the stretching of the metal of the strip or the result of wear on the rollers.&nbsp; As a roller wears it too forms &quot;flowlines&quot; but they run around the circumference of the roller.&nbsp; These roller flowlines can then be impressed into the surface of the strip and run along the long axis of the strip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
