[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3137008, member: 77814"]"lifted" does not constitute a die crack. damage can "lift" metal, or push it and bunch it up slightly to make it "lifted" If you have a perfectly Flat coin in 100% prestine condition, never seeing a hand/finger. And if there was a die crack metal would flow into that die crack and create a "solid" raised element on that surface with no imperfections around it. (fyi, Heat can cause an area to lift too, which is damage.) If the die crack is larger it may take metal away from another area (which is why pics of the complete coin front and rear are needed). For instance a large die crack or cud on the edge would take metal away from behind it causing the other side to have a "weak" strike or even indented area. most coins are Damaged if they've seen any circulation. They are initially moved around in large bags of coins, dropped, etc. thus causing "bag marks" where coins are hitting either other even before they are circulated. then think of what happens to coin once they are in people's possessions. All sorts of damage.[/QUOTE]
