[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4877096, member: 105098"]is it raised, or incused? looks incused in the picture, maybe a close up of it will help determine, but it's not a die gouge unless it's raised. Looks like a sharp edge scraped along the coin, hit the forehead and skipped over it and then made contact again on the backside before bouncing again, but that's just this one man's opinion of it based on the picture. Also that the brass isn't bright means it would have happened a long time ago, and the scratch could have been more visible across his head and been worn away. looks like there is a raised and incused below it, and this might be metal fold over of an old wound impersonating a die gouge. I'd be skeptical unless much better pictures provided. Up close and personal. looks like an old cut and not a die gouge to me,the incuse mark under it is concerning and if it was on the die, the head wouldn't interrupt it. IMO. And WAAAAAAAY OVERPRICED for it either way..... [ATTACH=full]1177952[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
