<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1409468, member: 15309&quot;]I have a different opinion on the subject but have been hesitant to offer it because I don&#039;t know much about this type of coinage and the photos are not near good enough to make an accurate assessment of the coin.&nbsp; But since I have already broken the ice, here is my theory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those marks, while very severe, could be planchet striations that survived the striking process.&nbsp; They were found on other gold coins from that era, specifically $4 Stellas.&nbsp; Perhaps the Copenhagen mint used a similar rolling process to prepare their planchets.&nbsp; That is something that NGC would definitely know and have seen on other examples.&nbsp; It would also provide a logical explanation for the marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
