<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1196992, member: 15929&quot;]Planchet Striations which are grooves cut into the sheet the blanks are punched from during the blanking process. There are guide rollers involved in this process and if the clad strip is a bit thicker, it gets pulled through these rollers which leave these scratches on the blanks. The scratches are deep enough that the annealing process and minting does not eliminate them. Some are all too obvious while others are barely discernable. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The nice thing about these is that they all run in the same direction on the planchet which makes them look like the run in opposite directions on the coin as you flip it head to tails (Top to Bottom).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]125918.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]125917.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
