<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26434367, member: 104064"]I've seen this on other cents of this era, specifically 1942 when I was researching a PCGS "high relief" claim. If you zoom in really close on that second image, the "scribe line" is a lot of tiny micro blobs with some tiny breaks at transitions in the design (tip of nose, eyebrow for example). My theory is that they inscribed around the border on the hub to make the portrait "pop."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
