Raised devices and incuse devices, all the rules change.
On raised devices, the lines can flow behind the devices because they are die scratches. Incuse marks on the tops of devices are damage that happened to the coin after it was struck.
On incuse (sunken devices), the letters are deep into the coin. The damage on the top of the coin can leave lines that makes it appear that is is behind the devices. But are on the surface of the coin. Just the opposite as raised devices.
Machine Doubling and a doubled dies:
On raised devices, Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices. On a doubled die, the devices are enlarged.
On incuse devices: Machine Doubling enlarges the devices.
On central doubled dies of these incuse devices they are reduced in size. Just the opposite happens.
So they are opposite on raised and incuse devices.
