<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1810634, member: 29239&quot;]none of what you said makes any sense at all except where you said struck thru debris . if not glue as you have confirmed it is not then I would say it was struck thru a thick layer of the graphite grease the mint uses with metal dust mixed into it. I have found many state quarters in&nbsp; new rolls of coins that still had a thick layer of the black graphite on them. when the dried graphite is removed it leaves a shallow imprint of where it was removed from. this makes the edges of the imprint area to have raised lines on the coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; this is common and more than likely is what is wrong with your coin , the die was not shattered IMO. the area at 3 o&#039;clock if it is incuse then it is a struck thru area from a small metal fragment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
