<p>[QUOTE="alurid, post: 3878370, member: 81991"]The lines you see are called Linear Plating Blisters. They are thought to be caused when the zinc metal is rolled to the correct thickness. That is why they go in the same direction on both sides and can cover the entire coin. They are not really considered an error due to them being an inherent anomaly in the coining process.</p><p>And cent planchets are not made/produced at the mint.
