<p>[QUOTE="atcarroll, post: 2635738, member: 77294"]They can look similar, but die scratches are raised on the coin, hairlines are scratches on the coin itself. If you can't see them well enough to determine if they are raised or incused, look at areas where the field meets lettering and other raised elements, hairlines will usually pass over them, or have a halo effect around them, while die scratches usually run right up to them but disappear underneath them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
