    It's small, and on a normal business strike coin, I wouldn't give a care. But it's on a proof coin, which is supposed to be perfect. Another thing... Is it worth anything? It's a die crack just above the word liberty.

    Any input is appreciated.

    Assuming that's really struck on the coin and not damage, it looks more like struck-through-lint than a die break. It would be unusual for a crack to open up entirely within the field of a die. I can't comment on it's value, that's not in my wheelhouse.

    Others more knowledgeable will chime in.

    I agree. It's highly unlikely it's a die crack.

    Well, you all were right. It's flat. So... Strike through. But still, is it worth anything?

    That's a small Strike Through. They are common on Proof coins. Usually lint or a fiber. Nothing major.

    No premium for that.

    A very small struck through. NAV on that one.
