<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pennywise4040, post: 24677106, member: 146540&quot;]cwart your thoughtful reply is very appreciated. I&#039;m new to this I have a lot to learn. I can&#039;t get any closer than with the pictures I&#039;ve taken. This last one, with arrows, is just a blowup screenshot of an earlier one to point to the ridge.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how the ridge could have been formed other than to speculate. It looks like a whole layer of metal flaked off, a majority of the right side of the 9. Interestingly the first coin also looks like this may have happened but the break is slightly farther down the right side of the 9. Perhaps something about the thickness of the 9 had something to do with this process during strike ?&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking the chunk that fell off could have left the ridge? Metallurgy is about as far from my area of understanding as I can get..... but you asked for it. I&#039;ll keep hunting for a better explanation.&nbsp; Thanks again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
