Jadedx1971 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 03:35 am Hello anyone/everyone. I'm new here so pardon any mistakes I'm making. I will be posting a few coins I'd like to get some opinions on. But, I will start with this one. A Georgia State Quarter. Nothing unusual on the obverse that I can see. But the reverse, well let me show you. The intersecting lines are not scratched/ engraved or gouged into it. They are raised above it. Any ideas. I have searched but not seen any like it so I am clueless. Any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 10:16 am Wow. Really nice find.I'm sure that die had to be switched out soon after striking your coin. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 12:28 pm Images aren't really good enough or close enough but I think it is very unlikely they are die cracks and I do suspect these are actually cuts. Report this Post to the Staff
Jadedx1971 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 1:16 pm If they are cuts/scratches wouldn't they be indentions? I mean where did the material come from to make the raised lines? There are absolutely no indentions. Edited by Jadedx1971 04/08/2019 1:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 2:42 pm to the CFF! Very nice find Jadedx1971. I didn't see it on Cuds-on-coins.com website under Bisecting Rim To Rim Die Cracks. http://cuds-on-coins.com/rim-to-rim...u-s-coins-2/ Worthy of attribution I think. Straight cracks? And 2 of them?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 5:06 pm When a coin is scratched it leaves a trench in the center with furrows on each side where the metal was moved: On coins cut the trench is usually square in shape in the valley area. Sides are rough just like the image above. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3179 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 10:23 pm I remember that one coop And then in circulation the furrows can get rounded over covering the trench. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 10:39 pm Often when they try cutting into a coin where is hits a raised area, it will More the scratch slightly when it goes over that area. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:06 pm The light and shadows indicate those straight lines are raised, as one would get with die cracks. I have an earlier die start of that one. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 10:02 am Look at these images with a tablet. You can see clearly that these are coin scratches with a blade, just like the images I posted earlier. PSD. (with a tablet you can zoom in very close. Then you can see it clearly) Report this Post to the Staff
