Rubduck Valued Member United States 338 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 6:39 pm Last time I i checked scratches dig into copper. Thesev2 lines look like worms on top of the coin. The last picture shows the surface on each side and center are the same height. I understand this is your opinion, They always say get another opinion, not all I submitted were dryer find some were errors. So Thank you for your input, I have recommended this forum to others. We appreciate your knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94931 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 9:07 pm the marks are scratches, just below the bottom of the stalk - that is why it is not damaged. With this type of deep scratch, the metal is moved or piled up along the side making it appear to be higher than the fields or devices. Collecting since 1972.

Your were partially right Dearborn, they don't "appear" to be higher, they are. When you have a deep gouge or scratch, it raised the metal above the other areas. Sometimes, if there is time, it will even smooth over and you cannot see the initial scratch, making it appear to be a die crack. Very common, and if you continue to search, you will find more and understand, Rubduck. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 08/29/2025 09:20 am Ditto to makescents. The metal from where the gouge was made had to go someplace. It was pushed to the sides. Also, nothing like this can happen in the minting process or die making process. All dies from a single year are derived from one master hub. Master hub makes one master die. The one master die makes working hubs The working hubs are used to make thousands of working dies. The image on the original master hub is exactly transferred through this process down to all the working dies. Had these lines been a part of the actual design, then all coins from that year would have these lines. How coin dies are made/used: :arrow: https://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06...oduce-coins/ It is a gouge. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
