[QUOTE="KarlB, post: 2378921, member: 75549"]Looks like die damage to me. The raised 'design' metal goes through the star, but not deep enough to reach the incuse depth of the star in the die. The uneveness in the wear of the high points on the line shows different depth in the gouge of the die. If this were a knife cut to the coin, and there is a hollow/void under the lines, can you push any of the displaced metal back down? Neat coin![/QUOTE]
