was going through some weaties I found and came across this.

It has a raised line below the 9 in the date. maybe a die crack or RPM? idk, just looked interesting to me.

it's a scan. never been able to photograph stuff well, so I usually scan coins. I could crop the area, if that would help.

Could be a little distortion, but above "IN" does look like maybe some doubling or something. The raised line to the west of the "D" mintmark is what caught my eye. Maybe a possible die chip on the "o" in 1950. I don't know, this coin just caught my eye.

The raised line is a die crack - they are rather common.

The 'stuff' above the motto is die wear - which works together well with the die crack to assume the coin is late die state.
