coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 9:45 pm Looks like a stain/residue on the coin. Is it incuse in that area? If not, then it is probably a stain/residue on the coin. A rinse under water might remove it. Possible milk that dried? I see it on other areas of the coins devices. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 10:34 pm I see what looks like paint also on the coin. A close view of the area in question might show me something? Report this Post to the Staff
frodo Valued Member United States 352 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 12:23 am bout as close as I can get Coop..any closer and you are going to have to pull me out of that crack! is it a die crack? does not look like a hit to me, looks like a crack Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 12:42 am A die crack is raised. This is incuse. Sot it is either damage or a struck through. In the depths of the channel is is rounded or jagged? Ragged may mean damage. Rounded might mean a struck through something. Wire leaves a nice rounded mark. Thread also the same, but fiber can be squared. I see it running over the rim. So it may be damage. Report this Post to the Staff

LincolnGuy Pillar of the Community 917 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 01:37 am It's not a die crack, it's just a gouge in the coin. A die crack would be raised. Edited by LincolnGuy 05/26/2014 01:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
