The first coin is from the Antikenmuseum Basel (NAC 13 n°253) and i suspect the others to be clones of this one.

What could be this line ?

i think just same worn dies pair....no random difect are repeated ,in the same posistion,on all the coins.

circular lines seems a probably effect ot a multiple stricking.

You are right thank you.

It's strange but when i see the Antikenmuseum coin with 3 others "random coins" of the market with the same dies :

I don't have the same feeling than when i see the same coin with 3 "random coins" from museums with the same dies to (ANS, BM, BNF) :)

One can not speak of clones: the specimens are highly variable and all from a single pair of dies (Jenkins, Gela, p. 164, pl. 37, n. 18). The letter K quickly becomes more and more "vanished" with progressive wear of the die.
