CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 12:32 am I have this PCGS details-graded variety that is listed as '98-damage' that I am guessing is due to the scratches below the date. It appears that whomever owned this coin tried to remove whatever is below the date. I have not seen any other of this variety with a die crack in that position and it does not appear as if the scratching implement had any affect on whatever is there. Anyone have a guess as to what could be on the surface of this coin [if it is not a crack]? Edited by CentSation 02/01/2021 12:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 12:45 am Pictures of the entire coin may help. That does not look like a die crack to me. It appears too large and crooked to be a die crack and does not appear to emanate from the rim. Looks like extra material of some sort.

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 11:58 am Whoever was scratching at the D (scratches look newer because they are still a bit shiny) pushed the metal from it into a straight line then couldn't figure how to remove it completely? Report this Post to the Staff

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 07:51 am To me it looks like someone tried to shave off the D a while back. Then later someone tried scratching at the metal to see if that piece comes off. Can we see the full pic or the PCGS #. That looks like a trueview image but I cant find it.
