I think the striations are too uniform to be an alloy issue. Since the striations are perfectly parallel and run the same direction on obv and rev, I&#039;m assuming they resulted when the metal was rolled into a sheet. To occur on the obv and rev in perfect parallel, I&#039;m theorizing that the metal was &quot;dragged&quot; through fixed rollers, rather than being &quot;rolled&quot; (If that makes any sense).</p><p>I don&#039;t guess the coin has any additional value, but I think is an interesting oddity.
