I don't think it goes over the rim. That's just a mark that happens to be there. The line looks like PMD but it would be easier to tell in hand. |

Someone may have cut into the coin's surface with the tip of a sharp blade held at a relatively low angle. This would have pushed up the metal on one side of the cut. Then the ridge may have been intentionally pushed back over the incision or subsequent circulation could have accomplished the same end. What you end up with is a ridge that looks like a die crack. The cut in the rim supports this idea.

@crazyb0, no I'm not sure that he is saying that at all. No corrosion--just PMD from a sharp object. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Corrosion is neither evident nor required in this case. Cutmarks with this appearance are quite common. And corrosion ridges are unknown among clad coins. They're primarily a phenomenon of alumuinum coins and some plated steel coins.

It looks to me like it's been scored. The pics are tough, but it looks pretty dark along the bottom side. It's not hard to score a straight line when done quickly. I think PSD without seeing a clear close-up.  |

You guys are all great educators. I know most of what I know about coins from this site and didn't mean to take anything away from Mike Diamond with my previous comment.

I been following all the comments on the quarter I submitted for your thoughts. Just a couple more things about this quarter, the area is raised, also I can feel it and see it. Should I send it off and see what they say? |
