The lines appear to be raised, rather than indented.
Between photos and PCGS, ill still stick with the pros that had it in their hands.

The pros may have had it in their hands, but they blew it completely on this piece. That is without a doubt post strike damage, DELIBERATE post strike damage.
I wonder, if you sent it back in a call it mechanical error? "Oh we left off the word details."

Strikethrough, my foot! That's PMD. You can see where the metal was pushed away from the scratches where someone used a sharp object to damage the coin. |

Are you thinking this may have been struck with a defaced die, moxking?

That's some coincidence if it's supposed to be mint-made. Why wouldn't it holdered in an error slab?
Someone want to buy it, then send it in for reimbursement under PCGS' Resubmission Guarantee. No, don't.

It's interesting that the lines seem to stop right at the rim without marring the rim.

What really threw me on this piece were the seemingly raised lines along with the straight grade. I went ahead and posted it ats and received a unanimous opinion of PMD with the explanation..... Quote:
It is graffiti. When cut with a sharp blade it creates a raised area next to the cut. It is a common technique seem on old coins. |

It needs to be seen in-hand. I'm with Mox on this one. There's only so much you can tell from a photo.
The guys who held it and viewed it always have an advantage.

I just can't believe that's an error. It would have to be the most coincidental PMD lookalike error ever.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Error or not, it is unattractive and not anything I would purchase.

If the lines were raised, that means they were cut into the die. Since the B-3 variety does not have the scratches, then they cannot be part of the die, so they cannot be raised. I see clear postxstrike metal movement, which is enough for me to conclude PMD. |
