Found this and thought I would share it with you. I think it's pretty cool! Higher magnification shows the "crack" actually running from edge to edge. __________________ -=Mark It is said that life begins at 40...but it really doesn't get exciting till around 110...mph![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Last edited by vlcnrydr; 12-22-2007 at 10:31 PM.

Is the "crack" raised? If so it most likely is a die crack. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

Just remember that some coin's have heavy die polishing. The polishing will be straight regardless of the angle of the angle of the line.
