Well if they are raised, I'd say you really got something special there. Best to take a second look....  |

These pictures show clearly these Diamonds are raised not inscured. Hope this helps out better. Interesting.   |

Please post a photo or two taken at a 30 degree angle or so. Thanks.

I am thinking incuse as well. Looks like the displaced metal was pushed out at the rims. But, I can see how with that lighting, it is hard to tell. It made me do a double take.
I am betting your light is nearly 90 degrees over the coin. You might try light from a low angle. If raised the diamond is raised, it should be bright on the side nearest the light and dark on the far side due to the shadow. If it is a hole, then the shadow will be on the side near the light.

Wait - are they raised on BOTH sides, or raised on one side and incuse on the other?

The deformation of the rim is a red flag for me.

I'd love to see more pictures too if those diamonds are raised. |

If those are raised then that would mean the die would have had to have those diamond patterns pressed INTO it and that just doesn't make sense -

Looks like a mix of (a few) raised and (mostly) incuse diamonds. The ones near the date looked raised. It still looks like PMD (and some sort of vise job), but its hard to explain the raised metal. |

Here you go, raised diamonds.  They are on the vise though. |

Interesting. In some pictures the diamonds look incused on others they look raised. But I'm leaning toward them being incused. Look at the word 'liberty' - you can still see the 'B' in the diamond hole.

I would like to see a picture edge on looking at the date/mint mark area.

Clearly someone was trying to make a waffle Coin for there Ice Cream. Next time use a half dollar it's bigger so more Ice Cream.  |
