<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 7921789, member: 104064&quot;]I rotated the image to presumably the proper orientation. There is strong low-angle lighting from the north. There is a dark shadow under all of the markings to the south. I cannot perceive them as anything but raised off the surface. They look &quot;fresh&quot; because they&#039;re lit up like a spotlight.</p><p><br /></p><p>The corrosion crosses the markings in numerous places, many circled. There is an old scratch right through them - arrows. Your contention that the tool skipped over the corrosion they were theoretically trying to eliminate I find untenable. </p><p><br /></p><p>These markings are raised, and are die scratches. Your opinion and mine will never be the same, but it&#039;s a fun diversion. All we have is one image existing in a vacuum. We can&#039;t look at it from another angle, or examine the rest of the coin for similar markings. I&#039;m not about to go search every seated liberty denomination, date, and mint looking for another example, but I bet there is one. Have a great day. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1368587[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
