Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 08/12/2017 4:13 pm I usually can tell what is going on with die scratches and polishing lines but these have me a touch baffled. The lines are raised on the coin, not thin like polish lines, and are on the surface of the die not in the devices. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/12/2017 5:06 pm From the photos you provided it just looks like the poor nickel got sucked up into Sharknado. The lines appear recessed. Are they actually above the field? Report this Post to the Staff
