Why would you think that? It crosses both the field and the portrait and shows a bit of a skip where it goes from the portrait to the field, just like a scratch would. Wait for other opinions.
It's always better when posting photos that you show both sides of the entire coin with a closeup of the area in question. That makes it easier to help determine what you have. Thank you.
I'm fine, be careful out there. The leaves would be on the reverse, you had a picture of the obverse...oops, sorry, didn't see the thumbnail, I'll look...don't see any scratch on the leaves.
I agree with the scratches.... about your back ground I think you will have a better picture with a black background and alway post full images. ... There is is a lot of post about PMD. I think it could help you determine damage and errors... I’m sure some members can help with some good links. If not not just search and go though 1000s of them.... keep searching!!! You’ll find one soon...
