steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/11/2014 07:36 am It looks very straight and clean. Perhaps a deep scratch that jumped a bit on the rim and scratched again? Report this Post to the Staff

steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/11/2014 10:31 am Ahh...I can see under the neck that it is indeed raised. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 02/12/2014 2:26 pm Im no expert but I've heard scratches on a coin (ex. knife or something that provides the right clean deep cut) over a period of time can raise. Now the period of time and conditions needed I am unsure of. Report this Post to the Staff

wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 02/12/2014 3:27 pm jawamin..I ran your coin trough one of my programs to show that it does look like a sharp cut from some thing and maybe not a die crack..just a guess..i am no expert....did it in 3D to get a better look at it.

jawamin Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 02/12/2014 3:36 pm Under magnification "witch I am unable to photograph under" it clearly shows a raised surface flat on either side. I think the photo can be misleading with the shadow affect my lightings cast apon the coin. It matches up to the dentical of known die cracks I've seen on record also. Report this Post to the Staff

M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 02/15/2014 08:45 am To me Jawa and DV's die crack intersect the same target area on the denticle, Rob yours seems to be 3 or 4 denticles east. Nice coins. Report this Post to the Staff
