61D REV Lathe Lines in bays

[jfines69]

I see what appears to be lathe lines in all the bays... This is on several of the 61Ds' I am looking thru for Frank... These are also RPM but I have not gotten pics of the RPMs yet... My photography skills are not the best and the LLs' are lite so I pointed to the ones I could see in the pic... Easier for me to see than you because I know where they are at... I hope the lines show up enough for you to see... Thanks!!!

Most likely the pic... LOL!!!

I cannot conclusively determine what they are. Could be circular die scratches or some planchet anomaly. I could look at it for you (and Frank) and see if the lines are perfectly centered and circular...

That would be cool... I'll get them to you as soon as I can... I will let Frank know first... Thanks Jason!!!

I have seen concentric lathe lines on both the large date 1960-P and the 1961 Lincoln cents. I do see the lines that you have pointed out and I believe that you have the one of those mentioned.

Thanks BJ... I sent a PM to Frank... If Frank gives me the go ahead I will send them into Jason!!!

I'm not sure what these are. They seemed to be spaced further apart than lathe lines, but I see these all the time on Cents from the early '60s.

I will be sending out the best one of these I have... My last count was 5 from the same roll... I will update when Jason is finished!!!

Have any other examples BJ? I have not seen anything pre-'88 that was definitive but would like to...

Lathe marks are circular. Not straight like the OP coin. Looks more like polishing fading scratches:

Coop,
I know about the lathe lines... My photography skills S$#@ out the A&* though... I have found another 8+ with the same marks that I was trying to show... I am going to send the best one out to Jason and hopefully he will see what I do and get real pics... LOL... Thanks for the input... I will update this thread when I find out from Jason what I have!!!

Sometimes you can find coins that look like lathe lines that are actually die polishing lines. The way to tell them apart is to see if they are circular from the center of the coin. If not they are not lathe lines.
