Okay all this may just be die gouges or scrapes but I thought I would let you take a look. I included 2 pics with arrows to show what I see. All comments welcome and appreciated!
The anomalies seem a little thicker than the steps; they could be linear plating blisters or die dent/scrapes. That said, Billy or Bob may want to see it to confirm it as weirder things have happened. Nice pics BTW.
This is a tough one but it looks likes your columns may be doubled. It also like the shelves under the columns to the right and the
left may be rest ruck on the coin as well. I look forward to hearing what the other guys who have more experience say about this.
Way cool coin.

Coins are the only hobby you can spend all your money on and still have something to spend.
I can't quite tell, but as Jason mentioned, the lines do seem much thicker and further spread apart than the steps. If any of those lines are ON the columns (not all in the bays) then that would lead me to believe they are linear bubbles or striations. I am more inclined to believe that's what they are.

Okay thanks guys. I wasn't really sure and I started to pitch it to start with but wanted to wait and get some thoughts on it. Back in circulation it goes!
There are some markings on the columns that line up!!!
Yeah after Bob said that if there are marks across the columns it is nothing I went back and looked. Oh well, I really didn't expect much from it. It did look pretty cool though!
