Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 6:26 pm Appears to be a scratch to me. remember the letters are incuse so a scratch in that area would show on the background rather than on the lettering. Report this Post to the Staff

bugil46 Pillar of the Community United States 579 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 6:57 pm Adam E. Are you suggesting that the scratch was on the planchette before the strike? Just for my information. Report this Post to the Staff
Smeege New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 7:13 pm So this is a damaged planchette, before mint, and the mint used it? Just really learning the ropes. I have been saving coins for as long as I can remember, but just getting around to looking at them. I would find them in my change, and put them in a jar. So if I might, ask your opinions, on Black Coins, or bad clad on coins. How to be sure they are really clad issues? Thank you again! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95403 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 9:24 pm with a scratch on the surface of the coin most probable that it occurred after it left the mint. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 12:14 pm Thus with the devices deeper than the surface face of the coin, a contact mark that is not real deep will appear to be what you suggest, but that is not the case. As the damage gets deeper it then affects the incuse bottom of the devices: Just a contact mark on your coin. Not a die related event. Report this Post to the Staff
