Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 3:12 pm All of the dark lines on both sides appear to be a cracked die. They are all raised. It is either that, or a retained struck thru. I have never seen cracks to this extent on one side, let alone both sides if that is the case. Report this Post to the Staff

Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 3:17 pm Definately not staining. I thought so at first, but they are all raised. I will try to get better pics, but my tech is pretty low and I hate the image optimizer Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 3:19 pm Looks like pencil marks on the coin staining the surface. (Closer images would be a better help) Report this Post to the Staff
Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 3:26 pm Tried to get some better closeups and some at angles Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 3:31 pm A die crack is incuse on the die, leaving a raised line on the coins. I'm still seeing nothing above the fields or the devices/design. Still looking like pencil marks on the coin. Surface level marks. Report this Post to the Staff
Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 3:36 pm I'm about to head home now. I will put it under a microscope and try to get a better representation of what I am seeing. Agreed, from the pics they look like pencil marks, but all of the black lines are definitely raised on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74809 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 4:50 pm Probably just Post Strike Damage ( PSD) most likely. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 5:07 pm It's not a cracked die. It's more like a small loose knot of steel wool on both sides. That was retained. I tried my best to get some closeups. What is not still there and raised has left an indention into the cent itself. Report this Post to the Staff
