hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 04/04/2018 10:01 pm What really threw me on this piece were the seemingly raised lines along with the straight grade. I went ahead and posted it ats and received a unanimous opinion of PMD with the explanation..... Quote: It is graffiti. When cut with a sharp blade it creates a raised area next to the cut. It is a common technique seem on old coins. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/04/2018 10:34 pm I just can't believe that's an error. It would have to be the most coincidental PMD lookalike error ever.

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 1:05 pm If the lines were raised, that means they were cut into the die. Since the B-3 variety does not have the scratches, then they cannot be part of the die, so they cannot be raised. I see clear postxstrike metal movement, which is enough for me to conclude PMD.

The lines do cut into the denticles, and since the prong of the PCGS slab is at that location you can't see the edge of the coin. So you can't tell whether or not they go all the way to the edge.
