KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 8:56 pm Can anyone tell me what the line is going through this coin? It doesn't look like PMD and it doesn't look like a strike-through. I noticed it also doesn't affect the letters. Any ideas? Thanks for your input! Report this Post to the Staff

wolf-n-wa Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 12:07 am So How do you determine the difference between gas bubbles and die scratches? WOLF Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 10:21 am Gas bubbles can flatten with pressure in that area. Die scratches are very thin lined looking marks that raise. The difference is like a pencil line compared with a brush line. Report this Post to the Staff
