Yeah, I can see it all right. I suppose it must be from a die crack.

But I'm no expert so I'll check back and see what they have to say.
It wasn't that long ago when I thought that 'mint error' meant that something was wrong with my candy.

the pic is not too clear. from what I can see looking in hand it looks just like the other rays on the crown. I have seen a lot of die cracks and this looks too precise to me.....definitely open to all comments and thoughts tho.

I was hoping somebody would come along with more information.

You should keep the coin safe -- you might have an error coin. Try some of the sites that specialize in just error coins. But it is possible that it is just a die crack.

It LOOKS like a die crack, but I'm not sure because it seems straighter than what a die crack would look like.

Die gouge or maybe a die clash?

I'm thinking it's a die gouge, unless it's a pretty worn die crack...
