A good example of "lathe lines" on a medal.

I noticed this while I was browsing some auction lots at Stack's and thought it was unusual to see it on such a large medal. I've linked the auction lot itself where the images can be enlarged for a better view. This must have been an early strike of this medal because the circular lines are clearly visible on both the obverse and reverse.

Nice example. Very easy to see on that medal.

I like seeing LLs on my coins. I have a few.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Nice, I noticed them on this CWT too recently, especially on the reverse
