newguy79 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 12:16 pm I have in my collection a 1964 LC that is stumping me. Beautifully struck, but there is a line/crack/something going on around the date. It should also be noted that the rim of this coin is "thick". Posting pics, comments welcome.

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 12:46 pm This cent is actually a proof cent, which explains for the wide rim. Not positive on what the line is using current images, could better images be provided? Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 6:31 pm This it is a proof strike. The line seem to be like discoloration of the material Similar with liquid drops on cooper coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 9:56 pm I agree a much in close image of the area is important to evaluate this. Not the same image just enlarged but a zoomed in image (nice and clear, please) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 11:40 am Could be a thread or lint on the coin? If you could get it under a scope, if it is incuse, then it is a struck through. If it is raised, then it would be a die crack, which I doubt. These dies are only used to strike 3K coins, meaning the total of 6K strikes per die. Thus they rarely show a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
