JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 3:11 pm Didn't come out of the mint like that. PMD It is a typical vice coin and the diamonds are incuse, not raised. Report this Post to the Staff

Numiscrat Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 5:41 pm I am thinking incuse as well. Looks like the displaced metal was pushed out at the rims. But, I can see how with that lighting, it is hard to tell. It made me do a double take. I am betting your light is nearly 90 degrees over the coin. You might try light from a low angle. If raised the diamond is raised, it should be bright on the side nearest the light and dark on the far side due to the shadow. If it is a hole, then the shadow will be on the side near the light.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 5:43 pm Wait - are they raised on BOTH sides, or raised on one side and incuse on the other? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 7:42 pm The deformation of the rim is a red flag for me.

IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 8:11 pm I'd love to see more pictures too if those diamonds are raised. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 8:26 pm If those are raised then that would mean the die would have had to have those diamond patterns pressed INTO it and that just doesn't make sense - Report this Post to the Staff
