Just double checking the notes stating, it's a Proof-like strike with Die Breaks..(?) ** What do you see? Also, I welcome any insight/information from world coin collectors appeal, scarcity and value of a coin like this! Report this Post to the Staff

To me, those linear marks look like someone took a sharp knife and made a whole series of short cuts on the surface of this coin. I don't think that those are die cracks, although if they were, then this would be a shattered die!

Lucky Gnome Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 11/16/2019 11:06 pm Hi, The lines are raised metal... The illusion of a slice may appear because of 2 close raised lines/die cracks on either side? I've just never seen that many on one coin. Shout out: I'm hoping "Coop" chimes in on this one! Thanks..

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 05:33 am @luckygnome, for sure it makes sense to get multiple opinions here. However, @coop doesn't seem to hang out in the world error section very often as his focus is on US coins. I'd recommend sending him a PM if you want his thoughts. With that said, it still looks to me like a sharp blade was used to cut into this coin and "smush" up material next to the cuts.
