<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2053548, member: 112&quot;]Toll marks were my first thought as well. But after looking, flipping and forth, and looking some more I wonder. The width, depth, and spacing of the marks seems to be exactly the same as the shield lines themselves. Coincidences like that, tend to make me think, to wonder.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be unusual to say the least, but I&#039;m wondering if maybe this coin is a over-strike. In other words a planchet was previous struck, the resulting coin was found to be unacceptable, and was thrown back into the planchet pile somehow. Only to be struck again. And the lines we see on this coin are the remnants of the shield lines from the original coin that were not obliterated by the second striking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Food for thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
