It looks a Die Crack rim to rim . Nice find man!

 

As per above, looks to be a crack - nice!

 

It looks like a stain to me.

 

@eddiespin - good point... I didn't look very closely.

@Avery G. - is the line raised?

 

Yes, the line is raised.

 

Yea me to. I guess I jumped the gate , it does look flat . Hmm .

 

Sorry, but it's the edge of a stain, not a die crack

 

Well, the man says " raised" .

 

Look at it again.

 

I re-examined the coin and yes it is discolored where the crack is, but i assure you that the crack is raised above the surface.

 

The crack does look flat , doesn't it . How can it be proved . I know show shot of coin on an angle ??

 

This is a die crack...

 

Looks like a stain on the OP coin to me. The lines look too smooth to be a crack.

 

There could be a slight raised edge to the stain, residue from whatever stained it.

 

Major stain, not a crack!

 

I'm with the stain faction.

 

I'm in the stain camp.

 

Either or, is a keeper either way... Looks raised to me. Be really freaky if it was BOTH

 

This is my idea of a crack.
