SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 07/09/2013 7:47 pm Optical illusion. They are raised relative to the depressions, because it is an impression of the denticles of another coin. The denticles of the other coin push into the metal, the gap between those denticles give the raised effect on the coin being pressed. Those "raised" denticles won't be any higher than the fields of the coin.
