Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 7:26 pm I know I see multiple die cracks, I think some kind of doubling that doesn't line up and I need help with the rest Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74434 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 7:31 pm Just scratches from damage ( PSD), sorry. No errors here. Just a beatup coin. It's still worth Silver melt value though, since it's 90 percent Silver. Keep it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 7:39 pm So your saying the raised scratches and blob of metal on the earlobe look that way because PMD caused loss of metal around them? How is everything raised Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 7:45 pm The ear lobe might have a slightly worn die chip on it, but those linear areas are definitely scratches on the coin and not die cracks. The object which caused the gouges might have "smushed" the metal up on either side as it worked its way across the field.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74434 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 7:45 pm Yes. Stuff is raised, because the hits and scratches has moved and pushed the metal around. Just the result of damage. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 8:14 pm I understand, I didn't know that. The raised part and where few of them originate and pattern (the ear, almost looks as if it starts under metal and the couple that follow the outline of his head) they follow made me think no way.

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 8:20 pm i would suggest you search die cracks, they sort, of look like slightly raised areas, not deep gouges . Report this Post to the Staff

Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 10:05 pm Gouges? My pictures must get tore up after I compress. I posted 3 more pictures of the raised gouges, where they originate and to what they connect. If scratches is still the only thing that makes sense then I'll live with my eyes playing tricks on me Report this Post to the Staff
Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 12/04/2019 10:32 pm And the example you just gave me seems to take a very similar path Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/05/2019 8:24 pm Coin damage is incuse. It is often pushing the metal to each side of the trench from the damage. Note these cuts into this coin with a razor blade. On was not deep enough to puncture the plating. The deeper trench show how the metal was pushed out on the sides of the trench. The metal has to go somewhere? That is what you are seeing on your coin. An incuse mark, with raised areas on each side of the trench. 99% of the time an incuse mark is Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Damage to a coin turns it into a face value coin. Report this Post to the Staff
