[QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 3116167, member: 85251"]Just got this little guy in the mail. Very flashy and I love the bright blue rims. Thankful for PCGS's database of TrueViews, I wouldn't have bought this coin with what looks like a reverse scratch above the "F" if I wasn't able to instantly see the same mark on about half of the proofs from this year and know it was just a small die crack. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/5GDo6yO.jpg[/IMG] I wonder how early on the die cracked. This one is a cameo which (correct me if I'm wrong) were usually only the first so many struck back then right? PCGS has only graded about 40 in CAM or DCAM and about half have the crack so I wonder if it cracked after only striking a few dozen.\ Edit: Also just found the same mark on a lot of the business strikes from 1868.[/QUOTE]
