BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2647 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 1:03 pm I believe that is a scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Pillar of the Community Canada 8517 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 1:08 pm There wouldn't be a raised ridge showing along the mark of it was struck through. Sorry but just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47940 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 1:10 pm If it is a scratch, it will be incuse on the coin. If it is raised, then it might be a die crack.

Minnimarine Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 3:18 pm Dang. Ok so what ever is laying in the scratch looks like wire, broken glass fiber ah never mind. Ok I am going and getting me one of those cg cameras. That way I can get the good pics. This phone ain't cutting it. Thanks again y'all give me a bit and I will post the next item. Got me scratching my head because I never felt with something like it. Report this Post to the Staff
Minnimarine Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 06:04 am A struck through I thought can leave the debris in the coin sometimes. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 2014 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 06:21 am A struck through won't have a raised edge on either side of the incuse area. A scratch will have raised areas (think of a tractor plowing a field). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Spence Moderator United States 18341 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 07:44 am A scratch for sure--looks like someone cut the surface with a knife or sharp blade.

Minnimarine Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:06 am Ok new picks. I'm not buying the scratch theory because I hope and think I got good pics. This looks punched in. I really appreciate all the replies but I cant settle with a scratch. It looks like a string or like a fiber. Any ways let me know how these look. If they are bad I'm going to go get a camera just for coins. Ok Thanks yall for your time. Notice the crack at the bottom of the flag from the firework? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47940 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:12 am Thanks for the extra images. It is a coin scratch. Note there is a trench with a flat bottom on the trench. It appears to be scratched with a box knife. Note the lines flow on the bottom of the trench. Just a spender coin. Richard S.

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4392 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 1:47 pm I also agree that it is a scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
Minnimarine Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 7:52 pm Thank you guys. It really looks like a fiber. I never seen a scratch go around the fireworks fingers or up and curve around the flagpole. Also there appears to be something in between the two fireworks where the scratch split towards the F in Fort and the flagpole. And in certain spottsbthe scratch is filled and raises over the flag pole. You say it's a crack coop then I'm going to go get a soda with it of course. But there are parties that are raised and not icused. I'm done with these phone photos. Also coop I have a coin that I think needs to be looked at professionally. Any suggestions? I have no problem paying for it and I'm sending this one with it lol. Drop me a email if you could. Thanks all. Majority rules. It's a scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 2014 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 8:26 pm This image might help you visualize what we're saying. Here's one of your images where I've added arrows to show you the raised areas adjacent to the scratch. A struck through error won't have these raised ridges. The surface of the die keeps these ridges from forming. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Minnimarine Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 10:06 pm Ahhhhhh I see it now its pointed out. Thanks for hanging in there so I may be taught . Once again at tension to detail. Most appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
