that would be a die crack, not a planchet crack

die cracks= common
planchet cracks= not common and quite collectible as an error
Rest in Peace

That's an unusual spot for a die crack. Excellent find.

Sorry biokemist6
I finely got a better picure to show part of the crack . it does run from the rim to the neck then up to the cheek bone area along the cheek into the hair . if the picture was blown up bigger it is easy to see. and thanks for your comments .
