<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1925287, member: 11854"]I see what you mean and, interestingly enough, I have multiple images of this coin taken through the years and do not recall this feature showing up previously. Therefore, I went to the bank this morning with a loupe and a good light to examine the coin. The marks are there, but they are extremely shallow and in-hand they do not show up together. That is, you can see both marks, but only when you rotate the coin under a light and as one line disappears the other becomes visible. They are a pair of very fine hairlines that both picked up my lights very well and show up in the image far better than they show up in reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not think anyone would consider this to be graffiti if the coin was seen in-hand, but I admit the imaging affect is pretty dang cool they way they popped out together like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
