Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5391 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 9:01 pm Going through an old buy from last year noticed this interesting Raised die line on the reverse . I only bought the coin because it was colourful and inexpensive . Edited by Pacificoin 04/14/2021 9:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 9:05 pm That looks like a scratch on the coin that pushed a bit of metal. I'm seeing it on the O but not in the adjacent field. Nice color, though! Edited by Numisma 04/14/2021 9:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 9:17 pm Quote: A box cutter will leave this type of mark. My thoughts exactly. Looks like the cut was made left to right based on the gaps next to the O. Quote: raised even on the rim and the O Exactly where a die gouge shouldn't be, correct? Even if whatever made the gouge dipped into the devices, it would still show on the fields around them. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 9:28 pm I vote box cutter. You can see a thin line between the pushed up metal. But obviously done many years ago given the consistent toning. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 9:39 pm Quote: A box cutter will leave this type of mark. Seems like a feasible explanation. As already stated: There is a thin dark line visible, in the first picture, in certain areas of the "raised" line, possibly the actual cut into the surface. The rest of the line may be the metal (pushed up from the razor cut) folded back over and covering the cut making it seem like a raised line. (?)

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/16/2021 08:59 am I too vote box cutter. I've been fooled with very deceptive cuts like this in the past. Unless another exactly the same turns up it can't be proven it's a die gouge. Always need a second example to confirm a new variety. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
