<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 7602657, member: 15309&quot;]Typically when you see parallel lines on a coin that stop at the design elements, they are usually die scratches/die polish lines, but these photos are playing tricks on my eyes.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell if the scratches in question are raised lines or scratches, in fact, I can&#039;t even discern that the devices are incuse, even though I know that they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given the appearance of the scratches, which seem to have a varied depth yet all together, it seems that they would most likely be a wheel mark.&nbsp; I have other coins with wheel marks and they bear a similar appearance to the scratches on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 3rd photo, the individual lines at the top look like die scratches.&nbsp; But the the larger patch of scratches above the &quot;S&quot; look like a wheel mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think they are adjustment marks, because I am pretty sure the mint had abandoned that practice by the time the Indians were minted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
