<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 4904155, member: 24314"]The marks on the face are from a bad scrape after the coin was made. When a coin is scraped as this, the scratches go into the coin but the sides of the scratches are made by displaced metal which can make parts of the scrape look raised. That's why you should always rotate the coin in the light. Then raised and incused lines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
