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.....

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.

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.

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


Oh, they are definitely marring the rim.

The lines do cut into the denticles, and since the prong of the PCGS slab is at that location you can't see the edge of the coin. So you can't tell whether or not they go all the way to the edge.
