Mmansell45 Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 06:58 am I thought so too John1. I viewed it at all angles and they are raised. Scratches and dings look alot different through a microscope easy to distinguish. Report this Post to the Staff

Based on my experience, those would be somewhat unusual locations for die cracks though.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 1:09 pm Consider this: The EPU on the shield cents are incuse. (sunk below the fields) Coin contact on the field level is not as deep as the devices. With an image it looks like it is a die scratch, but it is not, it is coin damage. Try rotating the coin under you scope 90 degrees, then you will see it is a surface contact mark. When the contact mark is deep, then you can see that is is just a contact mark: Rotated 90 degrees under the scope: Report this Post to the Staff
