<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Callalily, post: 2012742, member: 72639&quot;][ATTACH]362874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]362874[/ATTACH] Hi everyone, </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new to this site and I can&#039;t say that I know much about coins, but I love casually collecting wheat pennies (as a cashier I would take the few I found each day). </p><p><br /></p><p>With some research in mind, I always kept an eye out for irregularities. Recently I came across a 1928 Philadelphia penny with a strange detail near the top of Lincoln&#039;s hair. It is a curved line that looks at first like a scratch but is actually embossed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible that this is an error from the striking? My other guess is that at some point in its life, something with a strong edge hit it with enough force to push the metal on its surface upwards. Although, it seems as though the details on either side of the ridge are untouched. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this isn&#039;t too ridiculous of a question, thanks for your time! </p><p><br /></p><p>K.J.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
