Morph Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 1:59 pm Ok although I am still new idetifying die events. This one has me stumped I took many pictures to get a good look to everyone over the whole event. I am trying to determine if this is a die event or PMD. Portions of the event look raised and others do not. Thank you. * Edited by Staff to Add Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Morph Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 2:12 pm I can definitely see it being a scratch but it did not look like all of this mark was into the coin several portions look like they are raised. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 11:47 am You could take a piece of fresh aluminum foil and a wide paint brush and place the shiny side up on the foil over the coin. Push the bristles on to the foil and you will see the raised area on the shiny side, the incuse areas on the dull side of the foil. The incuse area on the scratch will be incuse on the shiny side and you will see the trench on that side. The raised metal that rise above the fields. Then compare that with another die crack, then you will see the differences. A die crack on the die, leaves a void and the coins struck with that die will show a raised area. The deeper the crack goes into the die, the wider the crack will become. Report this Post to the Staff
