Adjustment marks or not?

Due to the toning pattern being parallel with the marks, it is clear they were on the planchet before it was struck. Because those marks were located at the deepest portion of the dies, there was little to know pressure applied to the planchet at that area so the marks remain. On the other hand, the fields received significant pressure during striking thus the marks were mostly stamped out.

Some call them roller marks. Some call them drawing bench marks. Either way, a series of parallel grooves in the surface of the planchet prior to the strike. As was pointed out some of the grooves were struck flat, but left an effect on the toning.

Looks like mint damage to me, so it would not work for me. I would say mid mint damage.

The coin is already been graded by our host, just curios of what caused that marks.

I apologized for that, because when I post the first one, it gave me an error. I thought I forgot to put something on the topic summary which has an asterisk that is required to fill. The same thing happened on my second post and finally the third one went through without any error.
