This might be a cut to the coin, rather than a die crack. Not only is there zinc exposed along the "line", but it also cuts into the rim, which would not happen with a die crack.

Erroroins222 actually it could if the crack went to the collar die.Also on the head you can see the crack is fully raised with no zinc exposed.So it is legit

 It is a crack, and a nice one at that. Edited by 11997755

I'm going with scratch, because the path seems more deliberate than random. Also the intersect across the rim looks indented. If die was cracked I'd think it would be raised. Thanks, Doug.
edit: adding it was already mentioned above the exposed zinc or separation in the copper plating looks amiss.

 It looks like a pressure ridge which may be "subsurface corrosion" along the Northwest of the cut or scratch " PMD". I would need to see this coin in hand before I could say it is a Die Crack. OR.... show me another 2006 like this one. You only have to look through 4,290,000,000 cents minted in Philadelphia in 2006.  |

ter, try getting a light right by the coin to show it's a crack or not. I had one like this and many said it was a scratch and many said it was a crack and I got a better picture and it is now listed as 1983-UDC-002. Here is a link to the thread https://goccf.com/t/266327 |

A close-up at the top of head would clear it up. Everywhere else looks like a crack to me.

Looks like a very nice Die crack/break to me.  The whole line is raised and if it was a scratch it would be incused. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

See this is what I'm talking about. With the new pics, it is now more clear to see that this is a crack rather than a scratch.

I agree - it looks like a die crack. But, I don't think that's what it is. The close-up in "WE" of the motto where the anomaly intersects the design rim, is the most suspicious feature. Here, it looks like a series of cuts, rather than one die crack. Additionally, it appears as though the edge of the coin is affected, which an obverse die crack would not impact. If you look at the "T" in "LIBERTY", the anomaly cuts through the letter. Instead a die crack of this size should create a small horizontal offset of the design. Quote:

Has there been any follow up with the experts? Edited by ErrorCoins222

I feel it is a die crack. The reason you are seeing gray is because the plating has been knocked off the top of the die crack because it is higher. It was on the coin when struck, but circulation make it flake off.

Yes, I agree with Coop. The new images show that the Gray area is NOT incuse. If you email me permission to use your images and the name you would like for image credit I'll list it on Cuds-on-Coins.
