    Answered: 1994P Bays 6-11 Die Scratches?

    Are these die scratches in Bays 6-11? Thanks for your help.

  2. "Yes, a good example of the No FG. You also have a "floating roof." Those lines were completely abraded off the die. Doesn't look like much of Abe is left on there either.

    Edit, in the 2nd picture I see a part of the FG, so I guess it isn't technically a No FG, but this reverse die was definitely heavily abraded."

    They appear to be die scratches to me but it's interesting how the lower one skips the middle part of the bays.

    Very cool looking Larry!! As you know, by my posts, I can see something where there is nothing! That being said, because of the very slight curvature of the anomaly, I would say abrasions. It is odd how it's isolated though. The only other thing I could see was a possible rotated clash of the shirt and collar. I look forward to hearing from the powers that be.

    Cool... I'm in with the die abrasions... Interesting view in B1-B2... The roof line of B1 looks arched upwards and the north half of B2 looks like it is all lumpy but not from gas bubbles??? It may be lite reflection???

    I'm in with die scratches too... Odd to see them like this and sometimes I wonder if these odd looking ones (in odd places) might actually be die damage and not from die polishing.
