    Hi, I was wondering if the line under the bust on my mercury dime is a die gouge? Thank you.

    And what about the one from the T to the back of her wing? It actually looks like it runs down the back of her head ending at her neck by the date. A very nice find. And it’s a die crack, not a gouge. They are very different.
