coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/28/2022 12:05 pm Question is there a trench in that area. if so it could be damage to the coin. If the bottom of the trench is rounded it could mean two things. (one good, one bad) If it is flat that means it is a coin scratch with a knife blade.So if it looks like this: It is damage, even though the sides are showing a raised area. That is where the metal that was in the trench was move to. On a die crack it is raised and flows over the fields and devices. (but if the coin is circulated a lot, this raised area on the tops of devices can be worn off in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Crittercuts New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 10:43 am Update with a sacrificed camera lens which hopefully prevent more wasted time, it is a scratch. I repeat it is a scratch I could barely make out the canyon grove. Report this Post to the Staff
