Would this be a die crack or some other reason for the raised line? Thanks! Edited by dragonscale 02/15/2026 5:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73848 Posts	Posted 02/16/2026 01:50 am Dragonscale, try soaking your coin in pure acetone. It could make the crud go away or lessen. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
