<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1755143, member: 112"]It's hard to tell looking at the smaller size pics, but when you blow them up to full size you can see it, the line is frosted. But that means that the line is not a die crack, but a die scratch. That's because the only way the line (scratch) could get frosted is if it was already there when the die was being made - before that die even struck 1 coin - because that's when the frosting is done.</p><p> </p><p>I'm really surprised it got by the quality control inspectors, but there it is so it obviously did. And since it is on that coin, it is more than likely on some others as well. Unless of course the flaw got caught by the inspectors, and this coin somehow slipped through the cracks and was distributed.</p><p> </p><p>Never seen anything like it before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
