I dug this coin that is very degraded. Before I removed the dirt I could tell it was a 1817 or 1827 large cent. What's odd is the perfect star shape raised linear lines. They are perfectly straight and I have never been able to get an answer on what's going on here. I thought maybe it was a restrike or counterfeit. The fact that the lines are in this perfect star pattern I just don't know. Any ideas?
