<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1251810, member: 15199&quot;]It appears to be a die gouge. Remember the die is &quot;negative&quot; to the coin, so the deeper parts of the coin image ( the eyelid portion and the field in front of the eye is on the surface of the die and the nose is a deep recess of the die surface. So if we take a &quot;tool&quot; and accidentally gouge it across the surface of the die, the damage will be where you see the raised &quot;lines&quot;. Notice it is not on the nose, as the tool couldn&#039;t reach into the incused area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
