They are cuts/scrapes that have displaced the metal, raising it up on one side. Anything that was there at the time of minting would not survive fully intact with wear down to the G/VG level.

 Yep, after seeing more of the coin, that's the only possibility. We're not looking at struck surfaces here. |

Glad to see the correct assessment has been arrived at. You guys were beginning to scare me.

 Nah.. we just don't dismiss anything out of hand - the possibilities are always endless. Like DV said, giving the benefit of the doubt. At least until we can tell for sure  |

I have to agree there..reaching for the stars is not wrong.......but sometimes
(LIKE NOW LOL) is not the time....post mint damage from the start.....and to the finish......

Yes, I must agree. Being hasty, impetuous and making snap decisions has been my downfall many, many a time. I imagine some reference to that will be made on my tombstone.

Say that I wasn't really a 'bad' person as much as I was 'misunderstood'. (Don't mention anything about being impetuous).

I asked for the shots, mentioned, so as to compare with the guide. . Yhe general consensus op opinioon, seems to have given an answer for everyone.

I did imply that I have a reputation for being hasty in my decisions. Is there still a possibility of these raised lines being something else (such as a die variety or some sort of error)? I am willing to learn and open to other opinions and possibilities, as I was not there when the lines were created.

The given pictures are too close to see all the areas the 'scars' are in the guide. As mentioned, they are not just on the face, but on other surfaces as well, along with a certain reverse type that would also need to be there. |
