micrba New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 09/27/2024 11:59 pm I found this 1995 LMC with a huge raised gash all across it. I'm just curious to know: 1) Is this uncommon? 2) What is the technical name for this? Thanks as always! Report this Post to the Staff

micrba New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 12:40 am I thought it might have been a scratch at first, too. But after looking carefully, it appears to be raised. Here is a close up of the coin. There is even a tiny raised mark on the edge (although it is a little worn do to circulation). I also tried to run a gentle piece of plastic over it and it, and this line on the coin stops it from going over. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 08:37 am Sorry just a scratch. Like running a stick in mud, a build up of material on the sides of the trench. Report this Post to the Staff
