Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 05:51 am This is post strike damage that should never have been slabbed as a straight grade. It's the result of a cut into the coin creating a raised ridge. At the right hand edge the ridge has become detached and has been shifted downward. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 07:34 am Looking at how the light is reflecting off of it, it looks like what caused the mark displaced the metal outwards. That means it is a scratch. There are also scrapes above the N in CENT. The color looks extremely wrong to me; it looks cleaned, maybe because it was environmentally damaged. Everything is going against this coin. It should not have graded. Return it. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 09:32 am It appears to be a Cohen-2. The forked line on the reverse above "HALF" is some sort of anomaly: die scratch or PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 09:48 am I wouldn't be too quick to return it. The line is raised, and I do not see a scratch large enough that would produce the amount of pushed-up metal that would create such a line. Report this Post to the Staff
