<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 6404912, member: 84179&quot;]It looks like it’s a sharp cut that has circulated.&nbsp; A sharp cut will generate some displaced metal which is raised.&nbsp; During circulation, the raised metal can get pushed back over the cut and give the impression of a raised die gouge or crack. </p><p><br /></p><p>Notice how the line seems to jump over small areas of the field between the digits but is visible on the high points of the digits.&nbsp; The field is the high point of the die, while the tops of the digits are a low point in that area.&nbsp; I wouldn’t expect a die gouge to miss the high points, while hitting all the narrow, low points.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some examples in the archives of coins that show this effect.&nbsp; Sorry, but it’s PMD IMO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
