Are the lines on the back of the head raised?

At first I thought that the line from the T angling down towards the top of the head was damage. Now I am wondering if it is a crack, continuing across the top of the head and joining with those down the back of the head. I am thinking that this might be a retained internal die break.

Looks like die cracks to me. Do the two parallel lines running N-S join back together near the back of the head? Or do they just end?

I see all PSD. The raised lines are right beside the valley where the edge of something pushed onto the coin displacing metal upward ctrating the raised line. |

if you look above the date, theres more straight and diagonal lines. I think its PSD also. I feel like the lines are way to straight and then angle off way too precisely to be a die crack |

Feeling like the others: PMDI tried to magnify the picture, but the file is already reduced.  |

Gracie, if someone ran a sharp object across your coin there would be an incuse (inset) line, with raised metal alongside it. The raised metal would have been displaced from the incuse area and would be predominate to the naked eye. Under magnification, you can see if there is an incuse line alongside of it. If it is there, your coin is PSD (post strike damage) and is only worth face value of one cent. If the incuse line is not there, leaving only the raised line, then you have a mint error coin. If the lines meet each other at the bottom, it is a retained die break, if they don't, it is die cracks. Please let us know. |

It's PMD it runs from the shoulder to the back of the head and then to the T in trust. |

Yes, I agree it looks like damage after the strike.

PMD . Note the area to the left of the lines at the back of the head. It is flat and shelf like, also note the damage at the T of Trust. The same event that caused the damage at trust created the lines at the back of the head
