JPIV New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/24/2025 4:49 pm Hey Ya'll, Hope everyone is having a great Memorial weekend. Has anyone else every come across this particular die scratch on a 1922 Peace dollar? I am unable to find another example of this die scratch on a 1922. The die scratch begins slightly left of the bottom loop of the "B" in "PLURIBUS", crosses under the "U", continues through the back of the eagle's head, crosses over the split in the Beak, and crosses over the bottom of the "U" and terminates on the last post of the "N" in "UNUM". Let me know what you think! Thanks! Edited by JPIV 05/24/2025 4:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 1869 Posts	Posted 05/24/2025 5:17 pm Welcome to CCF! It looks like a die crack, not a scratch on the coin. A die crack is raised from the surface caused by a crack in the die. A scratch is post mint damage, recessed. Die cracks are common on Peace dollars. You could go to Vamworld.com, look at the varieties listed, see if you can find a match. There may or may not be one listed with that crack. Die cracks are interesting but usually do not add much value unless they are huge or became a die break. Mint errors like doubled die etc, add collector value. https://vamworld.com/wiki/Home Peace dollars can have die clashes, often seen as a spike on eagle's shoulder.
