1888 help for a new guy

[jasonstone232]

Was going through some of coins...blah blah I’m sure you guys have heard this a million times just need some help and options please...i know from the pictures it looks like a scratch but its not

[VamHelsing]

What are are you referring to? The Neck and lips are a clash mark.
If you're talking about the line that goes through Liberty's ear, I have no idea

[jasonstone232]

Yes I was inquiring about all of that and if so what can it would be...thank you for the response

The long line going from the rim thru the ear looks like a staple scratch from the photo. Is it raised or does it go into the surface?

[Kurt28]

I don't know about the scratch, but the clash looks like a VAM-1 or VNA.

[jasonstone232]

The long line is a raise line ..I wish I could get a better picture of it but it doesn’t look like a scatch

[jasonstone232]

Maybe this picture will help

Does not appear to be a crack. I wonder... it seems to sit on the surface as opposed to changing directions with the contours and the top (above the ear) looks to loop back; could it be a string of glue stuck to the coin? An acetone bath might answer that question.

I was thinking along the same lines. Stray strand of glue from a hot glue gun. I'd poke it with a stick.

Are tou taking the photo with the coin in a 2x2 flip?

Or a clear plastic round holder?

If so remove the coin before photo is taken
