<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1944425, member: 66"]I think it is a die crack and here is why. It is a very fine line and it is continuous. If you lightly scratch the field of the die you are likely to have a fine relatively straight line. But when you lightly scratch across the irregular surface of the cavities of the dies design your scratch is going to skip and jump from one area of "high relief" in the die (low relief on the coin) to the next and jump over those areas of "low relief" in the die (High relief on the coin). A crack, being in the actual body" of the die will tend to be continuous and affect both high and low areas equally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
