JonJ Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Die state or damage. The lines are raised and it doesn't appear post mint. Nothing found in Noyes or newcomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted December 26, 2019 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2019 Those are simply scratches cut into the coin after it left the mint. The metal displaced by a knife blade is pushed upward, creating the illusion that the scratches were in the die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
