<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladhunter13, post: 855781, member: 23442&quot;]I was wondering what would cause this. The coin is a 1996 Lincoln Cent. The groves you see are very slightly raised from the surface. They start to the far left of Column 1 and seem to disappear behind the column and continue on the right side at the bottom of bay 1. I tried to get a good angle on the coin to show the ridges are raised. I could not get the light to hit the ridges correctly without blinding out the optics of the camera. I posted the 2 best pics I could get.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the first pic you see the ridges disappear behind the first column then continue at the bottom right of the first column in bay #1. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp190/mrsg1313/Raisedgroves96LincoldRev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In this second pic...I tried to show that the ridges are indeed raised but the glare is terrible.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp190/mrsg1313/Raisedgroves96LincoldRev02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
