[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4542233, member: 84179"]Die cracks are raised. The mark on your coin is recessed, so it can't be a die crack. Think about the minting process. The die that strikes the coin is in relief. All of the high points on the coin are low parts on a die. A die crack in a die will be recessed, so it will leave a RAISED mark on the coin I would strongly suggest you spend some or your roll searching time studying the minting process instead of looking for errors. The more you know about the process, the easier it will be for you to recognize basic damage. You should also buy a copy of "A Guide Book of United States Coins" also called the redbook.[/QUOTE]
