<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 3295407, member: 15929&quot;]These striations start out as fairly deep scratching on the clad strips. Deep enough so that the minting process does not completely remove them but instead creates this &quot;striping&quot; which, given the format of US Coins, meaning not a medallic format where the coin is flipped from left to right vs top to bottom, appears exactly opposite from obverse to reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came across a 1967 Washington example the other day. Notably worn but unmistakeable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to add, it&#039;s a bit unusual for the striations to be on only one side of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
