Rmbaa New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 6:58 pm Hello Everyone! Thanks in advance for your help with this. What type of error is this? There are some raised scratches and some non-raised scratches that to me look kind of like they were by cracks in the die? I am not sure. Just curious. Report this Post to the Staff

Danjor Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 7:08 pm I'm not a expert but looks like PMD. When a coin is scratched it raises metal (displacement) which than is worn down. Also the lines look to straight to be die cracks. Looking forward to see other opinions. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94666 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 8:11 pm That is all intentional damage. Even though you feel raised lines, these are just caused by the initial cut in the center.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 2:20 pm If a knife was at a steep angle, it would make the damage look raised. Thus the coin was altered to make it appear as raised. Note the distortion differences. The fields and the tops of the devices are showing opposite affects on this coin. On a die crack the fields and tops of devices are both showing the same things. Raised area where the void opened up on the die, leaving a raised area on the coin. Also note that the die crack is not in a straight line? Varying where the die crack was on the die. Report this Post to the Staff
