One more for someone to comment on. This is a 1996D cent. Are the circles a plating issue or????

Hi 2Old,

These are lathe marks. Many people have been finding these mainly on 96'. When I say "many people" I mean approx. 5-7 people on another board that I live on. These lines are generally worn off from die use. They are neat though. I personally wouldn't get rid of it. Someone else may want to go into further detail but that's what they are. Nice find!
