    Not on the coin!!!

    See the haze spot on the slab right under L in Liberty and how the lines are still there?

    It's something your picking up with your point and shoot camera doing angle shots as these lines are common on OGH's.

    I used to get this on OGH gold all the time prior to upgrading to a DSLR and a Copystand... Drove me insane.

    Also some of the older NGC slabs are heavily dimpled on clear acrylic that covers the coin and at an angle at times would create lil pock marks that looked like die rust! image

    In this pic it looks like the ridges are on the lips but not dimple on nose

    On the subject of coin skin, here is a Jeff pulled from a roll search.
    The lines, or splashes of struck-through grease, give this nickel
    an interesting look.

    I would have said it's an odd textile toning pattern.

    Seen it before (lines like that)

    Something similar happened with the Presidential Proof Dollars about 5 years back where the plastic housing made them look like they were covered in lathe lines.

    Coin Talk Reference because PCGS search tool is worthless since the forum got punched up to the cloud.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Finally found what I was looking for after 1st finding a specific year and then searching all of my posts for that particular year.

    Whew!

    I have a blue holder that has this sort of finish on the plastic. It's like the mold wasn't fully smoothed and polished before putting into service.
