Roller Marks?

RKKay

Can anyone tell me if the marks on these two reverses are roller marks? If so, any way to determine if they were made around the same time? Thanks.

Top looks like a weak strike could be marks from the blank?
The bottom looks like die abrasions maybe?
Just a guess

This is just a guess also. The marks look OK on the bottom coin. The top coin may be a combination of things. The very weak strike is a good sign it is OK. Maybe one of the Half Cent collectors has seen this before.

Rick, I don’t see anything that I’d call roller marks.

Thanks, Mark. Would you say the parallel lines on each reverse are just planchet defects?

Rick, that’s my guess, but I don’t claim to know it.

Thanks, Mark. Your guess is always better than my knowledge.

Help! Now I'm really confused. I guess a roller mark is not a planchet defect then because it was made by the mint. I just looked on error ref and could find no reference to roller marks on a planchet or adjustment marks on a planchet. Everything else is called a planchet error. What's the difference between a planchet error and a defective planchet???? Why isn't something on the planchet before striking (roller mark and adjustment mark) not considered a defect?

I think it’s fair to call roller marks and adjustment marks, defects. It’s just the case of the pictured coins, I don’t know what the precise nature of the defects is.

I was also just asking whether these were roller marks as opposed to any other planchet defect. That's about the extent of my knowledge in that area. If you want to ask about LFEs, I may have a more intelligible answer.

Just from the pictures, the marks look more like post mint abrasion....ICBW...Cheers, RickO
