<p>[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1331812, member: 8797"]Yes, I think that if it is not acually the way Numismat illustrated, then part of a retained strike through has somewhat recently fallen off, leaving the redder looking streak. notice that the red streak, as it approaches the back of Lincoln's head, it raises up. This leads me to believe that the raised portions are a continuance of the emedded, shiny metal. I think it is the same obstruction, but where it meets the design elements it was not smashed in. Given the malleability of copper, I believe this is very possible. Also, if there was debris struck into this cent, would it not also be possible that other debris, which had not yet fallen off the die, made possible the raised areas on this cent?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
