photogame Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 11:51 am Hi, The coin came in a large group of Morgans I bought. North/South line seems to go over the other line, East/West? Would a scratched die create this effect? Or attached metal to coin? Thanks for looking and comments. take care Report this Post to the Staff
