<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 824161, member: 19748&quot;]Keep in mind that a scratch or gouge on a coin can leave raised metal.&nbsp; In your first post you said that the metal on &quot;each side of the scratch&quot; is raised;&nbsp; this is consistent with a gouge to the coin.&nbsp; If something strikes the coin hard enough, it displaces metal.&nbsp; The metal that was once where the gouge is had to go somewhere.&nbsp; It will either have to be removed, or it is displaced to the side causing raised areas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
