almostpennylane Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 10/20/2020 4:35 pm Going through my 43s and found this one that appears to have a large die crack on the obverse. Would this be considered a rim to rim die crack? This novice would love to hear your thoughts :) Report this Post to the Staff

But a closer view might help A die crack will be irregular in shape. If it straight if maybe be an illusion because of the zinc coating. This one may have been re-processed? That might be the issue?
