Jmclean New Member Canada 37 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 12:52 pm Hey, thanks for the replies and input everyone. The marks in question are indeed raised and thanks John, yes that rules out the struck through options, my mind seemed to have slipped that, I saw the strange and sporadic, circuitous, as it was described, is a perfect word for it, design and it took me away from standard die crack thinking. I've never seen a die crack quite like that. I wasn't set on fabric or string idea either as something didn't seem right, the diameter changes and sudden direction changes without any overlap and such. I also am thinking corrosion worms after hearing that brought up. I am familiar with the corrosion that frequents chrome plated coins but had not encountered in a view like this before. Do you think this coin stays like this or eventually corrosion with eat through the chrome over time? Thanks everyone Report this Post to the Staff
