I found this and wanted to share. Has anyone ever seen this type of crack on the wing like this one? I know the reverse has very deteriorated letters due die deterioration. Is this a rare location for a crack?
Hmm. Not sure that you can see that from a picture. I think it could be either depending on the posters answer about the "mysterious line". So? Is it raised or recessed, that is the question.
It is indeed raised, I can see it clearly from a different angle. Here are more pictures. The area below the crack on the edge of the wing shows slight impairment going further down.
If that area is raised then it could ok d be damaged. Another coin could have struck that area. I looked again and it looks different than being raised. A die crack will have the entire area raised. A strike through will have nothing raised and be smooth on the edges. Damage will be low in the cent and raised on the edges.
Look through auction archives and see if you find another one. I poked around Heritage and quickly found this one https://coins.ha.com/itm/susan-b.-a...a/28071-21625.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 hard to tell but it looks to have a similar thing there.
