Patman54 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 That is what I thought. It looks to me like they are under the surface When you zoom in you can see there is metal above the lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 It almost looks as if it was in contact with something in storage that caused the lines. Could be some type of adhesive gunk. I wonder if you gave it an acetone soak if they would disappear. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re going to try the dip don’t be afraid to ask about procedures and things to be careful about while doing so. Wait I just did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait I just did Dipping is generally a different chemical than acetone. Acetone soak in and of itself won’t alter the coin. Dipping in a harsher chemical will impact the coin surfaces. If it’s a quick dip that is quickly neutralized it may be ok, but prolonged or repeated dips are evident. Simply soaking in acetone and rinsing in distilled water once removed is a non-destructive way of removing some things.

Patman54 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Honestly I did not even consider doing that dipping is the doping it Because when I zoom in close on it they Didn't appear to be on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I’ll be honest I won’t say it’s anything for sure. There are several reasons and theories of why some coins have stripes or linear toning. I’ve read things from improper alloy mixture to roller marks with abrasive grit on them. This one just looks like some sort of contamination on the surface but I can’t say anything for sure.

Popular Post Fenntucky Mike Posted July 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2021 Someone took it off the grill to soon? I agree with Woods, it seems as plausible as any thing else, and a soak in some acetone to see if the lines wash away is good first step for this coin.

Woods020 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Sometimes trying to figure out exactly what happened is a fools errand. The major thing to know is did it leave the mint that way, or did something happen to it after the mint? Anything that results from action after it left the mint is post mint damage (PMD). I’m fairly certain this was caused after it left the mint but we may never know exactly what happened. Once you learn the full minting process always think could this have plausibly happened during that process? If no it’s damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also appears to be in the planchet and not in the lettering. Do the letters/numbers on the coin have the lines or do they seem to go under it? Did you dip it or soak in acetone?

Patman54 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 It looks like they go over it but in a couple areas under But I would say mostly over. I think I can just chalk it up as Strange Or Coin with racing stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
