That's pretty interesting. I really have no insight into that matter, but pretty interesting.

 

Come on guys help me with this.. Can a coin be cracked or split? Because im sure this one is... so many things going on with this one..look at it, it even seems to have two tops to a T a large bent one and an short even one..

 

Dont have a clue but it sure is a neat one!!!

 

can you post a picture of the other side and a picture of the rim around the area in question?
I'm guessing lamination error or post damage

 

front and rim

Here are the pictures I think you wanted.. if not let me know..:smile

 

The coin is in pretty lousy shape, which makes it hard to come to a decisive conclusion. I strongly suspect it is post-strike damage. There's an outside chance it is a strike-through error.

 

A strike-through error, does that mean cracked? split? Sorry to ask but I went and looked at some when I read this, and didn't see any that looked cracked.

 

Strike-through errors appear in a wide variety of forms. If wire, thread, bristles, or filaments are struck into a coin, you'll get thin, worm-like grooves. I still think it's far more likely to be post-strike damage.

 

Hi,
It appears as though metal has been moved around after the coin was struck. Take a look at the O in OF, for example. If it was a strike through error, the O would not be stretched to one side. If that is post mint damage and I feel it is, the odds are strongly in favor of the rest also being post mint damage. There is also movement of metal after the strike on the word STATES. The same applies. I think it is some kind of post mint damage.
