Truthfully if you blow on it & it doesn't move its either glued on or a die crack & welcome to the forum. A great learning place !

Does that microscope take pictures of the whole coin? And did it blow off? It may be a die crack.
And Welcome to the forum :)

Looks like a die crack to me, what brand of scope is it? John1  |

I agree with the die crack assessment. It looks like it is part of the surface of the coin, not sitting on top like debris.

I have done this many times thats why I am  . I done this with hair, string, even dirt. The scope will trick your eyes and see things. I got all worked up one time thought I had this one of a kind big huge die crack and run it to a coin shop and the guy started and it was the plastic on the 2x2 coin holder..... |

I think there is a shadow below the string that indicates it is not a part of the coin, but my eyes could be tricking me as well! I think Bryan summed it up best, so  to the Community! |

Looks like a thread to me too. You can see a shadow on the bottom right of it, at least it looks like a shadow to me. Best of luck, let us know what you find.

Don't feel alone. I've done the same thing. You 'can' see a shadow. Edited by rockdude

Now I am second guessing myself! The area between the shadow and the "thread" near the right side could be a flat area of raised metal.
There are two ways to find out for sure: try to move the thread or take pictures at different angles.

I'm a little devided on this one, there are areas that look likt thread but there are areas that look like die crack. My first thought was die crack then I saw the shadow line and white areas. Personally my opinion is if you can only see it under magnification, do you really care? I just don't understand the hype. I can see it if you can see it with the naked eye. But does it rally mean anything undr 60x magnification?

I looked at it again and I too see a shadow, so now I am on the fence on this one and will wait to see how it pans out  . John1 |
