<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1409863, member: 15309&quot;]The planchets are rolled prior to being struck and the lines that appear on the coin after striking are remnant from the planchet preparation process.&nbsp; Therefore, roller marks/planchet striations would not be considered PMD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that it appears from the OP&#039;s original photo that the lines must have been created post strike, but if the coin is prooflike, which it appears to be, even faint roller marks would appear very severe in a photograph.&nbsp; Similar to the way hairlines appear on proof coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not claiming that I am right, just providing an alternate theory to explain why NGC would grade a coin with such obvious marks.&nbsp; If NGC didn&#039;t think they were from post mint damage, what mint process did they think caused those lines?&nbsp; IMO, roller marks make more sense than adjustment marks due to the uniformity and parallel nature of the lines as well as the fact that technological advancements had made manually adjusting planchet weights unnecessary by the date in question, as Doug pointed out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
