jnedza New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 04:09 am Hi. Does anyone have any ideas on what happened to the face of this coin? It's in decent shape and doesn't appear to be damage but I thought I'd ask for opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

jnedza New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 04:52 am Thanks for the welcome! The best I can tell is that is slighty raised. I used a light to view it and there is a tiny shadow when the light is placed at an angle. I wish I wouldn't have sold my 105 micro lens now! Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 2:09 pm Circular scratches at the center of an older dime can typically be attributed to storage in a dime bank. Metal gouges can be raised on one side due to displacement from the gouge itself, a better picture of the mark would help. Edited by biokemist6 03/04/2012 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
