Environmentaly damaged or Improperly annealed?

These are photos from 4 years ago.
I think I have the coin in an album somewhere.
I will look for it. but in the mean time. Here are the photos I have of the coin?

Looking at the edge would help. When you find the coin

You spelled Annealed incorrectly on you poll

 

Looks like planchet striations on both sides of your coin. Are the lines incuse? Closeup pics of the parallel lines would be nice to see.

 

aealed ??


I like the striations like a metal mix problem too, cool looking dime .. so I would think improperly aealed but the coin edge would provide more information when you find it.

 

I wish I could fix it but it's too late now.

 

I will try to get better photos of the lines but they are not incuse.

 

Over the past year or so, I've come across quite a few quarters and pennies with these same type of lines on both sides of them. After posting them on this site and getting various responses, I've come to realize that these lines may have something to do with rollers that are feeding the coin material through the minting process or after, (correct me if I'm wrong). I have been shown examples of what coins look like with material mixture issues. Those will look more like wood graining. The coin shown above and all of the ones I've found so far, the lines are very even and straight, unlike the examples that looked more like the wood grain appearance.

Here's an example of the two:

 

These striations are slightly darker than the rest of the surface.
In cladding are these lines just considered striations or would you say they are from an improperly mixed cladding (alloy)?

 

I am still on the hunt for this dime. I have either stacked it or I put it in a flip, for some of us hoarders that may be a challenge.
Where ever it is I will find it just might not be as quick as I thought it might be.

 

Improper alloy mix is what we call "striations". I don't think you can have striations any other way.

 

I think that roller marks and improperly alloyed are two different things.
Ike, roller marks or improperly mixed alloy?
Lincoln, toning or improperly mixed alloy?

This is an improperly mixed alloy. AKA "woody"

 

Love this conversation. I’ve found many clad coins that have this same anomaly. My conundrum is.... is it improper alloy, roller lines, or a wash issue/ environmental damage. The coins I’ve found have no raised or incused elements. I opine if this is caused by roller lines that don’t cause a difference in elevation but cause a difference in hardness? That would explain the difference in toning.

 

Here is another look at the Ike,
