Unusual Place for a Die Crack

I know die cracks can happen anywhere on a coin, but I have never seen one start at the mint mark. The close-up of the MM is terrible I know, but it was the best I could do. The crack is raised and does not appear to be a scratch that has worn down. I know it is a minor error, but interesting. Does anyone else have photos of die cracks starting at the MM?

I forgot to mention that the crack thins out and goes to just shy of the six. The thinner part of the crack does not show up in the photo. You need to have it in hand.

That is quite different.

 

Too out of focus and dark to tell ANYTHING.

 

The San Jose die Crack on the 1954-S cent connects from the 5 to the S and the shape of the crack resembles a J.

 

Thanks.

I told you the photos were poor. I posted the best I could do. Sorry it did not meet your expectations!

So, what are they getting for a common die chip? Kind of silly, no?

 

I would pay $10 or 15 for one. But I've never come across one.

 

Me too if you add a "V" at the end to make "SJV" (my initials).

 

There's a lot of failing die stuff with Lincolns that don't cost much and are fun to collect.

 

Good eye to catch that one.
