smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2340 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 10:31 am I was going through some LWC's and came across this one. I have some struck throughs'...this is my 1st one w/an attachment. I think that's what it's called? Thought I would share. Thanks for looking! smat Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 10:49 am Is it raised or incuse? (below the fields) Or both. I could image someone talking a knife to the coin at a low angle and make an incuse mark into the coin, moving metal upwards that was displaced by the incuse mark on the coin.That is what looks like to me. But if it is all raised with nothing incuse, then I feel that something was glue to the coin. Depending on what it appears like in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2340 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 11:23 am At first those were my thoughts exactly...some kind of scrapes or gouges. Then I ran a toothpick over it and it's raised above the surface. So then I thought some kind of glue or something...so I soaked it for a couple of days in acetone and picked at it again this morning and it didn't budge. You can kind of see in the 3rd pic some of the marks I made trying to move it closest to his head...the thinnest part I thought would move easiest...nothing. So I posted it here to see what the reaction would be. Kind of reminds me of bristles from a wire brush...idk? smat Report this Post to the Staff
