Line could go under spikes of echidna at bottom like it did with corner of the 5 making the line disappear.

Also step down on bottom of Queen's neck may cause object to move left or right I think any way it's an interesting find crabeater.  P.s : sorry for many posts I try too investigate these errors an variety coins. |

Possibly due to some damage done to the reverse die

Sort of reminds me of the 1926 sixpence examples of a die gouge/s

This error comes in varying degrees of the length of the line involved. As is fairly evident, I'm no expert, but IMO if the line is always in the same location, but can be of different lengths, then that would indicate a gradual deterioration of the die, a die crack, but weirdly in a straight line. Normally a progressive die crack would worm around a bit as it followed the weak spots and stress raisers in the die. Anyone else with experience want to chime in on this one? Regardless, certainly interesting, and a nice find.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

 The red lines are the original die gouge, from memory. The green lines are diecracks that happened afterwards. |

Yes I see similarities but I think the line on 5 cent is more defined and straight. Just need mirrored image just to check back of coin well that was my theory, that it had a object there when dies clashed. Or its one long Cud |

Not all scrapes and die gouges will be the same. 1925/6 was a different period and had a different method to producing coins compared to todays technology, instruments and procedures. That one could possibly have been from a scraping on the feeder finger to the reverse die at some stage during production..

Here is the same line but smaller in length.  Quote:

I am thinking that you are correct in that it is a 'die crack'.ttkoo Not a gouge of some sort.as the line increases.  Can a 'die ' begin to crack from the middle outwards?  Edited by crab eater

Either way it promotes good discussion. Another nice oddity and one I would have as a keeper, that's for sure. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
