<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 8074712, member: 81795&quot;]The circulated coin did take a hit in the N G area. There is also a die crack. If in fact those lines are the result of die polishing that can result in accidental die abrasion. See below from error-ref.com</p><p><img src="https://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/accidental_die_abrasion_1944_1c-275x300.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse face of this 1944 cent shows an area of accidental die abrasion that approximates the shape of a right triangle.&nbsp; Enough metal was removed from the die face to create a distinct rise on the coin’s surface which almost swallows up the letters LURI of PLURIBUS.&nbsp; Die damage of this type — both unilateral and bilateral — occurs in the same area in Lincoln cents that date from 1917 to 1945.&nbsp; The repetitive nature and consistent appearance of the damage strongly indicates a machine part is responsible.&nbsp; While a feeder is a likely candidate, the theory has yet to be proven.&nbsp; Damage in this area can take the form of abrasion, a die dent, or a combination of both types of errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do these lines appear raised to anyone?&nbsp; I guess it sorta has to be, in the absence of an alternate explanation. Of course this is an extremely common date Peace so few will care ..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately all we have is the sellers pictures. To really diagnose this condition having the coin in hand and using high magnification such as a X10 loupe or better yet for my eyes a stereo microscope would be the way to go at least for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
