roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 2:40 pm Just got this 1874 Indian cent, I bought it because I noticed a big honking cud/crack in the feathers. No damage on the reverse. Anyone ever seen this before? Couldn't find much online. Report this Post to the Staff

My best guess from what I can see is that the die got damaged (gouged?) and that damage was then transferred to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
