<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3556669, member: 46237&quot;]I have a pattern that was struck on a planchet bisected by a straight line scratched through it (which straight graded). The effect is quite interesting but it does not look like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>A scratch on a planchet will still get pushed into the dies in those areas and won&#039;t appear as a gouge descending into the devices on the coin. Rather, the scratch will remain narrow in the fields (in some places barely seen) but will widen proportionally with the depth of the devices as the metal flows into the die, and will ride along top of the devices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
