SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 11:19 am Looks like what we call a parking lot coin. A coin that has spent some time on a hard, abrasive surface getting scraped around by being stepped on or driven over. Report this Post to the Staff

Ericwats Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 11:49 am Yes the lines are raised. I will get the acetone out to see if it changes. I already hit with soap and water then alcohol without change. Eric Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 12:03 pm Are you sure the lines are raised? It looks to me like incuse scrape marks that have displaced metal on the sides causing those areas to be raised. I would be very surprised if the entire mark is raised. Report this Post to the Staff

It can greatly reduce any numismatic value your coin may have had. Best habit you can have is to never clean your coins. Never. Report this Post to the Staff
