The circular ring to the right of Roosevelt's bust is a raised line and is the same radius as a dime when placing another dime atop of it. I hope that the photos demonstrate the raised feature. I'd appreciate any and all opinions on what caused this. Report this Post to the Staff

CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 12:08 am Thank you for your prompt reply! If it is a scratch on the coin, wouldn't it be a recessed line? If it was a scratch/gouge on the die it would leave a raised line on the coin, right? Novice asking, here. I see a raised line with the light highlighting the peak of the line and casting shadow to one side of the line. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 02:17 am I can't tell whether it is raised or incuse from the pics. It looks to be more incuse to me. It's not a die crack because it's too perfect. I'm not sure of damage, either, because again, it is a very regular arc, but the rim shows no damage like another dime was smashed against it. If the arc is incuse, I might guess struck through debris.

1993Z Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 06:37 am I find this one interesting. It doesn't appear to be a scratch because it looks like it is raised. What would cause it I have no clue. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can chime in. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 08:51 am A scratch on the die would be raised on the coin,just FYI. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
1993Z Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 11:21 am Lol I guess I misunderstood. I assumed it was meant as a scratch on the coin Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 9:02 pm Not any of the above. It is a stain from another coin in a cup holder. If it were damaged, there would be an incuse mark on that area of the coin. If it were an partial cut planchet, there would also be an incuse mark. But this coin is normal with a stain on it. A die gouge would be a raised mark on the coin: Edited by coop 06/17/2019 9:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
