[QUOTE="Insider, post: 7783987, member: 24314"]OK, very bad image (as usual from me). Try as I may, I could not catch the biggest clue. I almost decided to delete this quiz because it is not fair at all. However, I decided to post it anyway so we could learn from all the guesses. This is a closer look. [ATTACH=full]1335590[/ATTACH] You can argue that [B][I][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]my image can look like any of the poll choices.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/B] So all of you are correct! Unfortunately, I'm the only one who saw the actual coin. That's why I decided to go ahead and post the quiz. BTW, I really like the way/effort Physics explains what he sees. [B]We can all learn a lot more from each other if all of us would post this way! [/B] Let's describe why some of the choices might be right [LIST=1] [*][SIZE=4][B] Strike thru.

[/B][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4][B]Scratch.[/B][/SIZE] [/LIST] [LIST] [*][B]D[SIZE=4]ie Crack.[/SIZE][/B] [/LIST] [LIST] [*][SIZE=4][B]Lamination.[/B][/SIZE] [/LIST] [LIST] [*][SIZE=4][B]Damage. [/B][/SIZE] [/LIST] The mark appears to be INTO the coin's surface so it could 1,2,3,5,6. The die break (4) would be raised. Let's eliminate the lamination because the sides of the mark are probably too far apart and no peeling is visible. That leaves choices 1,2,3,6 and none of the above. What if I told you that the coin's surface on each side of the line are at different levels?[/QUOTE]
