[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4516171, member: 19463"]I assume you men the OP coin which I see as a raised line rather than a flan crack but that could be a photo issue. I hope it was not referring to mine which matches this one: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4358618[/URL] [IMG]https://www.acsearch.info/media/images/archive/154/4331/4358618.m.jpg[/IMG] Finding a die match to a common Constantine will take some looking but perhaps Inspector43 can comment on whether the line is raised (die) or lower (flan). When lighting coin photos we need to be careful to direct light so raised lines and depressions are distinguished. The Arados fourree below has a fine line die crack across the reverse field. [ATTACH=full]1118976[/ATTACH] The Aigina stater below has a chunk of die missing. [ATTACH=full]1118977[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
