<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1261364, member: 66"]The coin is genuine. The X's are "raised" but were not in the die. If you uses a strong sharp object and cut into the coin at a shallow angle it is possible to undercut the surface and create a raised ridge. Typically the "flap is then pushed back down to hide the edge of the cut. Examination of the base of the ridge at a shallow andgle and good magnification will usually reveal the edge. It can also often be noticed at the disruption of the joint where the two cuts cross each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
