die crack?

A die crack would be raised, that looks more like a scratch on the coin.

 

It looks more like a crack in the coin to me. I wonder if it didn't get damaged after someone dipped it (reprocessed?) in something.

Closer, more detailed pictures would be helpful.

Plus there's a lot happening on the rev.

 

WHOA! Looks like that die was barely held together enough to strike.

 

NOT a crack in the die that struck this coin-blank, but a crack in the coin that was struck. A die crack shows as a raised line on the coin, or as a "ridge" if the die on one side of the crack begins to sink under repeated blows. See samples here.

 

Way to prove your point. Good job. But i was thinking scratch on 43
