<p>[QUOTE="mikediamond, post: 2035793, member: 1859"]I've seen many coins crossed with raised lines similar to these. In all cases they were caused by dragging a thin, sharp blade across the coin at a shallow angle. This forces up a narrow flap of metal that is later either pressed down intentionally or flattened down by subsequent circulation. I think I can see the incision along the lower margin of the ridge that runs through WE TRUST.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
