<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2461141, member: 24314&quot;]Looks like a longer scratch.&nbsp; Now don&#039;t get me wrong but you have the coin.&nbsp; How to tell a struck thru/scratch/die crack is Basic numismatics. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Die cracks are raised on the surface of the coin.&nbsp; They are squiggly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Scratches go into the surface.&nbsp; They are generally shiny and the outside edges usually have a tiny raised ridge along the sides of their path.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Struck thrus are dull on the inside and have smooth edges.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since all three of these can go over the top of a letter, you&#039;ll need to tip and rotate the coin under the light as you examine it using magnification.&nbsp;&nbsp; Let us know YOUR opinion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Florescent light would help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
