Someone said it's a scratch , I disagree. I took some pics with my close up camera . It not a scratch. Well I'm hoping someone here knows .. I would be grateful for the help ! What do you guys think ? I am about to put the pictures up. I'm new so you know! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 22254 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 08:33 am OK I see what you are talking about - it looks like a scratch to me. Can you try to post up a close up of this area? (even if you post up the link wrong, it can be fixed so we can see the image) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 28375 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 08:56 am @hip, best practice is to only start one thread per coin. I know that you are having a bit of trouble, but seem to be figuring things out, which is awesome. To keep everything in one spot, I've merged your three threads into this single one.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4225 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 10:29 am to the CCF! It looks like a scratch because it has an incuse, dark center with a 'wave' of displaced metal pushed to both edges of the scratch. The other scratches in that area that don't show the 'wave' have been worn flat with extensive circulation. A strike through wouldn't have a raised area next to the incuse area. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 29814 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 12:16 pm Looks like a scratch to me too. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 1:09 pm is the vertical part a bit of displaced metal from the scratch folded up? obviously still damage, just my curiosity. Report this Post to the Staff
Hip2myskip New Member Topic Starter United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/19/2023 06:09 am lets take another look at this scratch. I have never seen a scratch that was curved into a coin such as this. I am agreeing that this is not a error during mintage, but I just think it is a scratch either. there is one small section where it kinda looks like it is a scratch, like it was going into the metal , but the rest of the item well it looks like it is on top of the surface. Also, it is also surrounded by scratches, none look the same . maybe the other nicks and scratches were older but certainly they look nothing alike. I don't know, it just seems like a wire. A very smalll wire. But lets not forget that we cannot rule out alien technology also. just sayn. I am going to shoot some better pics of it with my magnifier camera and post them ! maybe then we will have answers. Thank you. I have a few more things to show you guys.
