[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4130999, member: 10461"]File adjustment marks are not uncommon on 18th century coins (so for US coins, that means the very earliest). But Indian cents are a bit late for that. And I thought that sort of weight adjustment was only done on precious-metal coins (mostly silver). If the lines were polishing done on the die, then they should be faintly [I]raised[/I] on the coin, I believe. If they were marks on the planchet, then they'd be incuse (indented).[/QUOTE]
