<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 468786, member: 11521&quot;]Wouldn&#039;t the draw marks extend into the higher portions of the device too (e.g., Liberty&#039;s hair). Seems to me the draw marks would go across the entire planchet. The draw marks will disappear where the dies press into the planchet the most to create the fields but should remain (at least partially) on the higher devices. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think the lines are scratches caused by an album slide. If we had the coin in hand to look at we should be able to tell if the metal in the lines is fresh (a scratch exposes the metal below the surface) or if it is undisturbed (as would be the case if it is a draw mark).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
