fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 09:20 am My instincts tell me this is likely just a scratch, but it seems to go rim to rim. I cannot find any information regarding this on the web. Your thoughts and reasoning, please. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 10:05 am It looks like just a scratch, the contact mark to the right edge indicates the beginning of the impact followed by the cutting thru the surface travelling left showing the exit mark.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 12:39 pm Scratch would be incuse. If a die crack it will be raised on the center of the affected area. (Not showing a trench) Some think this is raised, on the intentional cut, but the metal is moved aside when the coin is cut with a knife. (The metal has to so some where on a post strike damaged coin) A closer view of the affected area might show us more on your coin? Report this Post to the Staff
