jlynch21 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 5:14 pm All I have is my phone I have tried several different apps for pictures and they all suck...but I do know it is not PMD. By the way my phone is a galaxy s5...so if anyone has any tips for me or a good app please let me know Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 5:31 pm The die looks like it is aged at the point your coin was struck. So if it is raised, then it is a die issue. Could be die wear or a die gouge. Nothing collectable though. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 6:49 pm Raised lines means it was caused by a die gouge; that is, the die got damaged during production and started producing coins with those lines. Spend it or keep it as an example or until you find a better one. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 9:04 pm I wouldn't spend it, it is cool and although not worth much to most you will probably not find another from that die. it is IMO a pretty cool piece with the damage to the die running to his pony tail and under his bust. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
