<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1617080, member: 15199&quot;]I have concerns also. The extensive &#039;die crack&#039; does not look like die cracks I have seen on a cent size coin. It is north -south long enough and the crack has &#039;globular&#039; portions rather wide. I think this would have broken off when striking. I wonder if it might be a result of the copper being physically removed. Also, even though I haven&#039;t see a photo of the edge of a certified unplated cent, the linear grooves on edge doesn&#039;t seem to fit with the idea of a smooth collar. Although this would not be a chemical removal of the copper, as usual on these where we just have photos, one must consider a chemical deposit of zinc.&nbsp; I think the thread could grow to multiple pages, with the only conclusion to see if it is authenticated by high level TPG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
